Cyclamen is one of the most popular of all winter flowering pot plants. It has obvious charm with compact growth, beautiful swept-back flowers on long stalks and decorated foliage patterned in silver and green. Most Cyclamen are unfortunately consigned to the garbage after a few weeks. With care they will bloom indoors for several months.
Choose a plant with plenty of unopened buds, then put it in a suitable home; a north facing windowsill is ideal. The spot must be cool and away from direct sunlight. A warm room means a short life for a Cyclamen.
Cyclamen prefer a temperature of 50 to 60 degrees. Keep compost moist at all times, but not saturated. Stand the pot on a pebble tray to increase air humidity.
