How does the cyclamen survive the winter?
You may not be familiar with the knowledge of cyclamen, a bulbous flower. Let's find out how cyclamen survives the winter! As a famous festival flower, cyclamen blooms during the Spring Festival, adding a lot of color to the festival. However, flower lovers also face a problem, which is how cyclamen survives the winter. The weather is relatively cold before and after the Spring Festival, and the humidity is relatively dry in the north with heating.
Let me first talk about the editor's experience. The editor is in the northern part of Jiangsu. Not long ago, I bought a pot of cyclamen and forgot to take it indoors from the yard. When I got up the next morning, half of the leaves were frosted, and the other half seemed fine. The lowest temperature that day could reach about -2°C, and there was a layer of ice on the car's windshields.
In this situation, after the sun came out at noon, the cyclamen frosted returned to its original state. This shows that cyclamen has a relatively frost-resistant ability. Therefore, we can keep cyclamen indoors for maintenance in winter. In the south, where there is no frost, it can be kept outdoors, but be careful not to be exposed to the wind.
Also, the issue of watering needs to be mentioned. In areas without heating, it is not urgent to water cyclamen. It's not once every three days or five days, but as needed. The editor's cyclamen is watered thoroughly (soaked pot) only once every 7-10 days. Since the potting soil is not dry and the cyclamen does not show signs of lack of water or wilting, there is no need to water.
Also, there is no need to fertilize. In rooms with heating in the north, watering needs special consideration because the air is dry and the temperature is high. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the moisture condition of the potting soil, keep it moist, but be careful not to spray water on the flowers. Cyclamen is not suitable for too high a temperature, so if the indoor temperature is relatively high, you can place the cyclamen on the windowsill. This way, the temperature is lower, and the lighting is also good. Some flower lovers cover cyclamen with a plastic bag, which is also a very effective way to retain moisture, but temperature control is important.
In fact, cyclamen can be maintained normally in winter as long as the temperature is not extremely cold (some flower lovers say that it's very cold at home and there's no heating, in which case, I can't help much, haha!)
The above sharing on how cyclamen survives the winter is a specific introduction, hoping to bring some flower knowledge to flower enthusiasts.
