Light:
Give cyclamen bright, indirect light in the fall and winter. While your plant is dormant during the late spring and summer, keep it in the shade.
Water:
Water whenever the soil feels dry during the growing season. High humidity, especially during the winter, is crucial. Keep the cyclamen on a tray of water with a layer of pebbles or something else to form a shelf for the cyclamen pot to sit on. Do not let the cyclamen itself sit in the water.
Temperature:
Aim for 10 – 15℃ in winter. Avoid cold drafts as well as hot, dry air from heaters. High temperatures will shorten the flowering period.
Fertilizer:
Feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer every couple of weeks while in full leaf.
When your Cyclamen is Dormant:
After a cyclamen blooms, it will go into a dormant state. Once the leaves start turning yellow, stop watering and allow leaves to die back. Remove dead leaves and place them in a shaded cool location for 2-3 months. Water very little to none during dormancy. After 2-3 months (mid-summer) bring it back out of dormancy with a good drink and soak the soil, allowing excess water to drain away. Once you see new growth continue to care for regularly.
Potting:
Cyclamen persicum does best planted in a soil-based potting mix, with the top of the tuber just slightly above the soil line.
