2. How do you grow cyclamen so it blooms more?

First, do not rush to cut off the leaves after blooming

After the flowering period, although the leaves will also wither before long, you must not cut them off artificially too early, because at this time the cyclamen's tuber is in a period of nutrient recovery and needs the leaves' photosynthesis to produce more nutrients.

Second, good fertilizer and water should not go to outsiders; the leaves and flower stems themselves contain many nutrients, so leave them to wither on their own, and then let the nutrients flow back to the tuber.

Second, fertilize promptly before the dormant period

Cyclamen has a long flowering period and a large number of flowers, so its fertilizer consumption is also quite large. Therefore, after flowering you must topdress in time to replenish the nutrients the tuber has used up, and as long as nutrients are sufficient, the tuber will grow larger year by year, and the larger the tuber, the more flowers it will produce.

But fertilizing also has its rules; you cannot just apply it randomly, otherwise not only will it fail to plump up the tuber, it will also backfire. You should know that nitrogen fertilizer mainly supports leaves, phosphorus fertilizer mainly supports flowers, and potassium fertilizer mainly supports roots, so at this time cyclamen should be given mainly potassium fertilizer, so that the tuber can grow larger and stronger.

Second, whether fertilizing or watering, do not pour from above down onto the leaves; either water along the edge of the pot or use bottom watering, so as to avoid stem rot or tuber rot.

Third, stop water and fertilizer after dormancy

After the tuber enters the dormant period, you should begin to stop water and fertilizer, and then do not expose it to strong sun. Place it in a cool, ventilated spot for care through the summer; a north-facing balcony is a good choice!

Remember that water must be given sparingly or even not at all. Generally, cyclamen that fail to get through summer mostly do so because too much water creates a high-temperature, high-humidity soil environment, which ultimately causes the tuber to rot.

When autumn arrives and the weather begins to turn cool, you can begin to gradually increase light, and the tuber will slowly begin to send out new leaves again. Then return to normal water and fertilizer management and wait for it to bloom again.
