Cyclamen is a plant particularly well suited to ornamental display. Many people like to buy cyclamen and grow it at home, but after planting it they find that some plants have bloomed while the cyclamen has not, and they think there is something wrong with their growing method. In fact, this is caused by the cyclamen's flowering period being different from that of other plants. Next, the editor will guide everyone to understand when cyclamen blooms.

The flowering period of cyclamen

1. The time when cyclamen blooms is concentrated in winter. In December each year, cyclamen begins to produce flower buds, and it keeps blooming until February to March of the following year. If we carry out detailed care for the cyclamen, we can also make the cyclamen bloom for a full 5 months.

Notes on the flowering period of cyclamen

1. Temperature:

Since the flowering period of cyclamen is in winter, the temperature of the growing environment is arguably the most important thing for cyclamen. During the daytime in winter, it is best to keep the temperature for cyclamen between 18 and 22 degrees, and at night the temperature should be kept between 10 and 12 degrees, and must not fall below 7 degrees.

2. Water:

Before the cyclamen is about to bloom, it is the time when the demand for water is relatively high. If we do not replenish water in a timely and sufficient way at that time, it will cause the leaves of the cyclamen to turn yellow. So replenishing water is very important. When watering the cyclamen, it is best to water as soon as you see that the planting soil has dried out. When watering, do not pour it on the cyclamen's corm, otherwise it will cause the roots of the cyclamen to rot.

3. Fertilizer:

From when the cyclamen produces flower buds until it blooms, it needs a supply of nutrients. We should fertilize the cyclamen regularly and in fixed amounts, and ensure that the ratio of flowers to leaves is 1:1. It is best to apply fertilizer once every 7 to 10 days.

4. Light:

Cyclamen is a plant that likes sunlight. During the flowering period of cyclamen, sunlight is most needed, and the cyclamen should be placed in a spot with sufficient sunlight for growing.
