Can cyclamen be exposed to the sun? How low of a temperature can it withstand?

1. Can cyclamen be exposed to the sun?

Of course, cyclamen can be exposed to the sun. It likes light and cannot live without the sun during its growth period. Only with sufficient light will it grow vigorously and bloom normally. But be careful not to expose the plant to direct sunlight, as this will easily lead to sunburn and yellowing of the plant. Especially the strong light in summer must be blocked or avoided. If the plant lacks light, it will easily grow too tall and the flower branches will become very thin, affecting flowering.

2. How low of a temperature can cyclamen withstand?

Cyclamen has relatively poor cold resistance and can usually only tolerate temperatures above 5 degrees. It is easily frostbitten if the temperature is below 5 degrees. Therefore, during maintenance, we must pay attention to the low temperatures in winter, especially in northern regions. When the temperature drops in late autumn, it is best to move it indoors. The indoor temperature should be around 10 degrees, so that it can safely spend the winter.

3. Cyclamen’s Growth Environment

It likes to grow in a warm environment. It can neither tolerate low temperatures nor has a good tolerance to high temperatures. Therefore, when maintaining the plant, in addition to dealing with the low temperatures in winter, you should also pay attention to the high temperatures in summer. If the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, the plants will easily rot, and in severe cases they will die directly. In summer, it should be placed in a ventilated and cool place to help it survive the summer. The environment should be well ventilated to avoid rotting. The soil should be loose, fertile and contain humus, so that the soil environment will be better for growth.
