FAQ about Cyclamen – Classic

What kind of soil suits cyclamen best?
Cyclamen thrives in well-drained, humus-rich potting compost with a pH of about 6.0-7.0. Mix in some perlite or grit for better drainage. Plant the tuber so that the top half sits above the surface of the compost.
How often should cyclamen be watered?
Water when the surface of the compost feels dry, usually once or twice a week. Water from below or around the edge of the pot so that water does not land on the tuber and leaves, and tip away any excess after 20 minutes.
Does cyclamen need pruning?
Cyclamen does not need pruning, but regular tidying is important. Remove faded flowers and yellow leaves by twisting them off at the base rather than cutting, so that no stubs are left to rot.
Which pests and diseases can affect cyclamen?
Aphids, thrips and especially cyclamen mite and red spider mite can attack in dry, warm indoor air. Grey mould and tuber rot occur with overwatering and poor ventilation. Keep the plant cool and remove damaged parts promptly.
How do I get my cyclamen to flower again?
After flowering the plant goes dormant as the leaves yellow. Reduce watering gradually and keep the pot almost dry in a cool place over the summer. When new leaves appear in late summer, repot in fresh compost and resume normal care in a cool, bright spot.
