How do you grow cyclamen? A full guide to growing methods and handy tips

Cyclamen flowers come in white, red, purple, orange-red and red-edged-with-white-center, among others, and some are even fragrant. Its flowering period can last as long as half a year, which is why it is so popular. So how do you grow cyclamen? What are the steps of the cyclamen growing method?

1. Choose plump seeds: choose plump, glossy brown seeds and treat them. Put the seeds in water at about 30°C with added Xin Gao Zhi Mo (a new high-lipid film); it can be mixed with seed dressing agents, can repel underground pests and diseases, isolate viral infection, does not affect the imbibition and swelling function of germination, strengthens respiration intensity, and raises the seed germination rate. Soak them in water for 3 to 4 hours, then sow. Compared with seeds that were not soaked, they flower about 10 days earlier.

2. Management during the growth process: Cyclamen is a plant that likes moisture and fears waterlogging. Too much water is not good for its growth and development, and can even cause root rot and death, so reasonable watering is crucial. Therefore, simply keep the soil moist every day, and the amount of water should not be too large. Increase fertilizer application - cyclamen is also a fertilizer-loving plant. First of all, start with the soil and fertilize reasonably according to the needs of the plant; this can make it flower 15 to 20 days earlier. Spray Xin Gao Zhi Mo to retain fertilizer and moisture.

3. Control of temperature and light: Cyclamen is very sensitive to temperature and is not tolerant of high temperatures. About 20°C during the day is a suitable growing temperature, and about 10°C at night; during the seedling stage the temperature can be slightly lower. Cyclamen likes sunlight, and extending the light duration can promote earlier flowering, so cyclamen should be placed in a sunny place for care.

4. Management during the flowering period: When the young buds of cyclamen appear, besides giving sufficient sunlight, spray Hua Duo Zhuang Di Ling, which can make the buds strong, the petals plump, the flower color vivid, the fragrance rich, and the flowering period longer.

5. Prevent diseases and pests: Cyclamen has more diseases than pests. Common ones in cyclamen care include:

① Gray mold, whose main symptom is water-soaked small spots 1-2 mm in diameter at the diseased area, which then gradually expand and become brown rot.

② Soft rot, mostly caused by bacterial infection; the diseased part becomes soft and rotten, and the affected area is mostly seen on the corm. Spraying targeted drugs plus Xin Gao Zhi Mo greatly increases the effective ingredient rate of the medicine.

Notes on growing cyclamen

1. Choose a beautiful-looking container for growing cyclamen, then choose fertile soil, and keep the soil moisture within the humidity range most suitable for cyclamen. Regularly loosen the cyclamen's soil and apply fertilizer.

2. It is best to place the planted cyclamen pot in the sun, but the premise is to try not to place it under sunlight that is too hot. Generally speaking, below 28°C is quite suitable.

3. Cyclamen is a plant that very much likes coolness, and its flowering period is from October to April of the following year. It likes moist soil and a sunny environment. The most suitable growing temperature for cyclamen is 15-20°C; exceeding or going above this temperature will have a certain effect on the growth of cyclamen. Also keep the room ventilated, and keep the temperature as close as possible to the temperature cyclamen likes most.

4. The humidity the cyclamen's soil needs is 70%-75%. If it is not at this humidity, besides possibly inhibiting its growth, it is also very likely to cause its roots to rot or dry up; under such circumstances, cyclamen is very likely to die. So when choosing soil for cyclamen, choose loose, fertile soil containing humus as much as possible. This can both guarantee its humidity and keep up the nutrients.

5. Cyclamen likes moisture and fears waterlogging, so it should not be watered excessively. Temperature has a great influence on cyclamen; it generally grows suitably under conditions of about 20°C during the day and about 10°C at night. Too high a temperature will make cyclamen enter dormancy early. Cyclamen is a fertilizer-loving plant, so choose relatively fertile soil, and the potting soil should be replaced once a year. At the same time, cyclamen likes sunlight, so it should be placed in a sunny place for care.

Winter and spring are the flowering periods of cyclamen. During the flowering period, cyclamen needs sufficient sunlight, and when growing it at home, attention should be paid to placing it in a sunny spot. If you want the flowers to bloom abundantly, you can regularly apply phosphorus fertilizer to the flowers every week. In the process of caring for cyclamen, various problems always come up, so what are the reasons for cyclamen leaves turning yellow?

Common reasons for leaves turning yellow are:

① Spraying medicine that is too concentrated. Cyclamen damaged by pesticide injury shows this performance, and clear water should be sprayed promptly to relieve it.

② Sunburn from light during ventilation. If the previous care environment had weak or somewhat poor light, a sudden change in light conditions will make it unaccustomed, especially when the outdoor temperature is relatively high (it will go dormant); if the air is also dry, it is very easy for it to wither and turn yellow.

③ Caused by drought. When placed outdoors for ventilation, the water in the potting soil is not sufficient; the high outdoor temperature plus too good ventilation makes the plant lose water very quickly.
