Can you provide me some tips on caring for a cyclamen?

Answer by  Milette (1105)

Plant in a soil-based potting mix. Water whenever soil feels dry. Feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer every couple of weeks while in full leaf. Regularly remove dead leaves or flowers.

Cyclamens bloom once a year, but the foliage is pretty all year. Put your cyclamen in a bright window with no hot sun. The most important thing is to water it from the bottom so the indentation on the bulb's top doesn't hold water and rot. Keep soil slightly moist.

Cyclamen go dormant for two to three months, usually in summer, but can be different if indoors. During this period, don't water, keep soil dry. Then begin watering and feeding again with low nitrogen fertilizer but don't get crown wet. Keep tuber a little above soil line and humidity high.

Let it go dormant until Spring. Replant in new soil, watering consistently for a few weeks. It will bloom the same time as last year.

This is normal. They stop blooming and go dormant for a while. Just leave it where it is and water when it is dry.

this is what you should do to make your cyclamen bloom again first you need to make sure that it is getting enough nutrients because they wont do much without that and they also need to have a partly shaded area to grow good and also make sure they get enough water
