How to care for and water the cyclamen
This article brings you the knowledge of how to care for and water cyclamen and the breeding methods and skills of cyclamen. Let's follow the editor to see the specific content!
How to make cyclamen bloom in full bloom?
Cyclamen is the dominant plant that blooms in winter. Cyclamen particularly enjoys a cool environment and can bloom at temperatures above 10 degrees. Even in the shy season of winter, cyclamen can still bloom brightly. Generally, as long as there are people living in houses during winter, the temperature inside is above 10 degrees, so most houses can grow cyclamen. However, many friends can't grow them well, so how to make cyclamen bloom in full bloom?
First, acclimatize the seedlings
Usually, the cyclamen we buy is cultivated and cared for uniformly in a greenhouse. The air humidity in the greenhouse is relatively high, which is very suitable for the growth of cyclamen. When brought home, the air humidity decreases and the temperature drops, so cyclamen should be placed in a place with scattered light. Let it adapt to the home environment for a few days before exposing it to the sun appropriately. Also, do not repot the newly bought cyclamen, as repotting will definitely damage the roots. Blooming cyclamen is also very sensitive to root damage. If the roots are injured, the leaves will wilt and become soft, the flowers will droop, and it will look very unattractive.
Second, lighting
This flowering plant, cyclamen, also requires plenty of light. However, during spring and autumn, it can be placed in an environment with scattered light. In the cold season of winter, placing it in a place with full sunlight can make it bloom continuously.

Third, watering
The most important aspect to note about cyclamen is watering. Cyclamen has a large corm with many fleshy roots on top. Excessive watering can easily cause the fleshy roots to become soggy and damaged, which will first manifest in the leaves, causing them to fall over and the flowers to droop. The leaves of cyclamen are very dense, so when watering, avoid getting water on the leaves or flowers. You can water from the bottom, using the method of soaking the pot to ensure thorough watering. Then place it in a well-ventilated area to dry the potting soil as soon as possible, avoiding waterlogging. When you see that the leaves are slightly soft, the pot feels very light, and the flowers are slightly scattered, then it's time to water it again.
Fourth, fertilizing
Cyclamen has a very long blooming period, from November to May or June of the following year, about 200 days. Therefore, it consumes a lot of fertilizer. You can usually use a multi-element fertilizer alternately with potassium dihydrogen phosphate. However, its roots are very sensitive to fertilizer, so you can sprinkle some slow-release fertilizer in the pot and add a little potassium dihydrogen phosphate when watering, allowing it to grow and bloom continuously.
In fact, caring for cyclamen in winter and autumn is relatively simple, as it is more suitable for its growth. However, in the summer months of May and June, it is particularly heat-sensitive and should be placed in a shaded and well-lit area to rest. It can grow and bloom normally in autumn. As long as you pay attention to the resting period and watering issues, it's also very simple to grow cyclamen well. Its bulb will continuously produce new leaves, each new leaf bringing a flower bud, which is very beautiful and the flowers bloom continuously.
