When does Cyclamen bloom? The flowering period is concentrated in winter
Cyclamen is a particularly ornamental plant that many people like to buy and grow at home, but after planting it, some find that other plants have bloomed while their Cyclamen has not, and they assume something is wrong with their growing method. In fact, this is caused by the Cyclamen's flowering period being different from that of other plants. Next, let me walk you through when Cyclamen blooms.
The flowering period of Cyclamen
1. Cyclamen's blooming time is concentrated in winter. Every year in December, Cyclamen begins to produce flower buds, and it keeps blooming until February to March of the following year. If we provide detailed care for the Cyclamen, we can even make it bloom for a full 5 months.
2. Because of differences in the Cyclamen's growing environment, it is also possible for Cyclamen to bloom in summer. But blooming in winter is in fact the Cyclamen's main season.
Notes on the Cyclamen's flowering period
1. Temperature:
Since the Cyclamen's flowering period is in winter, the temperature of its growing environment can be said to be the most important factor. During the day in winter, it is best to keep the Cyclamen's temperature 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 at a time when its water requirements are relatively high. If we fail to replenish water in a timely and sufficient manner at that time, the Cyclamen's leaves will turn yellow. So replenishing water is very important. When watering the Cyclamen, it is best to water as soon as you see the planting soil has dried out, and when watering, do not pour it on the Cyclamen's corm, otherwise it will cause the Cyclamen's roots to rot.
3. Fertilizer:
From when the Cyclamen forms flower buds to when it blooms, it needs a supply of nutrients. We should fertilize the Cyclamen regularly and in fixed amounts, and ensure the ratio of flowers to leaves is 1:1; it is best to fertilize once every 7 to 10 days.
4. Light:
Cyclamen is a plant that likes sunlight, and during its flowering period it needs sunlight the most, so the Cyclamen should be placed in a spot with ample sunlight for growing.
