Overview of the growth cycle of cyclamen: How long can it take for cyclamen to grow leaves? Tips for maintenance Cyclamen: Cyclamen, this colorful and elegant indoor ornamental plant is deeply loved by flower lovers because of its unique flowers and good growth habits. One of the questions that many flower lovers care about when maintaining cyclamen is: How long can it take for cyclamen to grow leaves? This article will answer this question in detail for you and share some maintenance tips. Overview of the growth cycle of cyclamen The growth cycle of cyclamen can be roughly divided into five stages: sowing, germination, leaf growth, flowering and dormancy. The time from sowing to leaf growth is the most concerned by many flower lovers. How many days does it take for cyclamen to grow leaves? The time it takes for cyclamen to grow leaves from sowing to growing leaves is about 10-20 days. This time span may vary due to factors such as the temperature, soil humidity, and light at the time of sowing.
1. Temperature: Appropriate temperature is conducive to the growth of cyclamen. Under appropriate temperature conditions, cyclamen will germinate faster. The appropriate growth temperature for cyclamen is 15-25℃.
2. Soil moisture: Soil moisture is crucial to the growth of cyclamen. After sowing, keeping the soil slightly moist will help the germination and growth of cyclamen, but attention should be paid to avoid too humid the soil to avoid root rot.
3. Light: Appropriate amount of light helps the growth of cyclamen. In the early stage of growth, cyclamen requires appropriate amount of scattered light to avoid direct sunlight. Cyclamen maintenance tips 1. Choose the right soil: Cyclamen likes soil with good drainage and strong air permeability. You can choose soil made from a mixture of peat soil, perlite, coarse sand, etc.
2. Control watering: Cyclamen is not resistant to waterlogging. When watering, we must grasp the principle of "seeing dry, seeing wet" to avoid too moist the soil to avoid causing root rot.
3. Fertilization: During the growth period of cyclamen, appropriate amounts of compound fertilizers or organic fertilizers can be applied to provide sufficient nutrients.
4. Prevention of pests and diseases: Cyclamen is vulnerable to pests and diseases such as aphids and red spiders. When pests and diseases are discovered, timely measures must be taken, such as spraying pesticides.
It takes about 10-20 days for cyclamen to grow leaves. During this time period, factors such as temperature, soil moisture, and light will have an impact on the growth of cyclamen. Mastering these maintenance skills will help cyclamen grow healthily.
