How to promote flowering in cyclamen? Master these tips to double the flower count and enjoy blooms in all four seasons

The cyclamen has an elegant appearance, like an immortal visitor gracefully arriving. With proper care, cyclamen can bloom in all four seasons, with double the flower count. Below are tips for promoting flowering in cyclamen!

Tips for promoting flowering in cyclamen:

(1). Repot regularly: change the potting soil once a year, otherwise the soil nutrients will be depleted, which is bad for growth and flowering. Use humus-rich, loose and fertile sandy loam soil.

(2). Fertilize reasonably: cyclamen is a fertilizer-loving plant. In spring and autumn, apply light fertilizer frequently, applying 2% concentration monopotassium phosphate every 15 days, which can advance flowering by 15~20 days. During the flowering period, mainly use phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, which ensures large flowers and vivid colors; after flowering, supplemental fertilizer should mainly be organic fertilizer with comprehensive nutrition.

(3). Water appropriately: when watering cyclamen, keep the soil consistently moist; do not use too much water, otherwise it will cause poor growth in cyclamen and root rot. The best method is bottom watering, so the flowers, stems and leaves fully absorb enough water; each time you water, be sure to let it drink its fill. After flowering, once the leaves dry up, stop watering. Then place it in a cool, ventilated spot.

(4). Pay attention to temperature: the most suitable temperature for cyclamen is around 20°C during the day and around 10°C at night. Too high a temperature will cause it to go dormant early.

(5). Plenty of light: extending the light duration can promote earlier flowering in cyclamen, so place the cyclamen in a spot with plenty of light for care.
