How to care for cyclamen flowers
Today, the editor will introduce how to care for cyclamen flowers and the cultivation methods and precautions of cyclamen. Next, let me answer your questions in detail.
Cyclamen is actually a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Primulaceae family. Its flowers are very colorful and vibrant, making it an excellent choice for planting on balconies or indoor cultivation. It is a very beautiful and elegant potted flower with attractive colors, including white, pink, dark red, etc. The leaves are also distinctive, with long petioles and round leaves, featuring patterns on the blades. Many friends buy a pot of cyclamen during the Spring Festival and then discard it after the festival, but this is not necessary. With a little attention to the details of care, it can continue to bloom and can be maintained for several years, blooming beautifully and vigorously every year.
The most important aspect of caring for cyclamen is summer water control.
First, we need to understand the growth habits of cyclamen. Because when the temperature is between 10 and 25 degrees Celsius, it is the period of vigorous growth and the most suitable season for its growth. During this time, you can supplement with fertilizer and repot, while ensuring adequate sunlight.
However, when the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius and during the hot summer when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, the thing to do is to control the water, reduce watering, and keep the potting soil slightly dry.
In winter, if the outdoor temperature is too low, we can simply place the potted cyclamen indoors. In winter, there is also heating or air conditioning at home, so it can still bloom beautifully. As long as the temperature is not too low, it can be easily maintained. Compared to summer, winter is actually easier to care for.

The key to caring for cyclamen is during the summer. When the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius and 35 degrees Celsius, it is important to control water as much as possible. If the plant has not yet entered dormancy and the leaves have not wilted, a small amount of water can be poured.
In June and July, water should be cut off, and once the potting soil dries out, the corms can be left. Do not water or expose to direct sunlight during the summer. Place it in a cool and well-ventilated area, and as long as it survives the summer.
