How to grow cyclamen? Teach you to grow stunning cyclamen
Cyclamen is a perennial herbaceous plant. It is a famous winter and spring greenhouse potted flower. The leaf stalks are relatively long, reddish-brown, and fleshy. Flowers are borne singly at the top of the flower stem, the flowers droop, the petals curl upward and backward, and the petal edges are varied. Below, let's take a look at how to grow cyclamen well, and teach you to grow stunning cyclamen.
Temperature
Create suitable temperature conditions; cyclamen is not tolerant of high temperatures. Too high a temperature will cause it to enter a dormant state. Therefore, temperature has a great influence on cyclamen. Under normal circumstances, cyclamen grows suitably in conditions of around 20°C during the day and around 10°C at night; the temperature can be slightly lower during the seedling stage. In addition, when flower buds are differentiating and flower stalks are elongating, a slightly lower temperature is beneficial for flowering. In summer, cyclamen enters a dormant stage due to high temperatures. If low-temperature conditions are created, it can avoid dormancy, which is beneficial for flowering.
Light
Extend light conditions; cyclamen likes sunlight, and extending the light duration can promote earlier flowering. Therefore, cyclamen should be placed in a sunny place for care.
Watering
When cyclamen enters dormancy in summer, reduce watering of the dormant corm. After potting up in autumn and repotting, water thoroughly, and gradually increase fertilizer and water, keep the soil moist, and reduce the amount of water in winter. When watering, do not let water get on the flower buds and young leaves, so as to avoid rot and affect flowering. The best watering time is from 10:00 to 12:00 in the morning, and the water temperature and the substrate temperature should be as close as possible.
When cyclamen's leaves droop at noon and are not very upright, it indicates that it is short of water. You can water it in the morning or afternoon. Generally, for home growing of cyclamen, watering once a week according to the situation is sufficient. A little trick for judging whether a flower is short of water is to tap the flowerpot wall with your finger. If the sound is dull, it is not short of water; if it is crisp, it means it is short of water and should be watered in time (this method is only suitable for clay earthen pots). Normally, water once every one or two days to keep the potting soil moist. Never water heavily; water only when the potting soil is dry. But be careful not to let the potting soil become too dry, as too dry will damage the root hairs and cause the upper part of the plant to wilt, and even heavy watering will make it difficult to recover.
