Description

Cyclamen plants are beautiful flowering plants that thrive indoors and in mild outdoor climates. Here are the key caring details for cyclamen, particularly the pink variety:

1. Light

  • Indoors: Place in bright, indirect light (e.g., near an east- or north-facing window). Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
  • Outdoors: If grown outside, choose a spot with partial shade.

2. Temperature

  • Cyclamen prefers cool temperatures between 50–68°F (10–20°C). Avoid placing them near heat sources like radiators or vents.

3. Watering

  • Water when the soil is dry about an inch down, avoiding overwatering.
  • Use the “bottom-watering” method: Place the pot in a tray of water for 10–15 minutes to allow the roots to soak up water, then remove it and let it drain.
  • Avoid getting water on the foliage or crown to prevent rot.

4. Humidity

  • Cyclamen enjoys moderate humidity. If your home is dry, increase humidity by:
    • Placing the pot on a pebble tray with water.
    • Using a humidifier nearby.

5. Soil

  • Use well-draining potting soil with good aeration, such as a mix designed for cacti or succulents, or add perlite to regular potting soil.

6. Fertilizing

  • Feed every 2–4 weeks during the growing and blooming season (fall to early spring) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
  • Stop fertilizing when the plant goes dormant.

7. Pruning

  • Remove yellowing leaves and spent flowers by gently twisting and pulling them from the base.

8. Dormancy

  • Cyclamen goes dormant in the summer. Leaves will yellow and die back—this is normal.
  • Reduce watering significantly during dormancy but don’t let the tuber dry out completely.
  • Store the pot in a cool, dry place and resume regular care in the fall when new growth appears.

9. Repotting

  • Repot every 2–3 years during the dormant phase, using fresh soil and a slightly larger pot if necessary.

10. Pests and Diseases

  • Watch for pests like aphids, spider mites, and mealybugs.
  • Prevent fungal diseases by ensuring good air circulation and avoiding water on the leaves.

Cyclamen pink blooms are delicate and can last for weeks with proper care, making them a wonderful addition to any home or garden.
