Home Cyclamen is known to us with all beautiful flowers that delight us all winter. It is winter, since it is a flowering plant in winter. All autumn and summer he rests and gains strength for a surge of new colors.
Usually it enters our house in winter, that is, during the flowering period. Let’s start our leaving story from this period. First of all, it is necessary to provide the flower with a sufficient amount of sunlight, not forgetting, but that it does not tolerate direct sunlight.
If cyclamen stands on the windowsill, it is advisable to “scatter” sunlight, for this you can use a sheet of white paper. The optimum temperature for him during this period is from +12 to +15 ° C. But, in no case do not go beyond +10 +20 ° C.
Do not “settle the guest” in the immediate vicinity of the battery
You should not “settle the guest” in the immediate vicinity of the battery or fireplace. As for the watering of the plant at this time, it should be noted that it should be regular, but in no case abundant, since the overflows will lead to rotting of the roots.
During irrigation, it is necessary to avoid water from flowers, leaves, and tuberous growth points – all this can lead to rotting of the plant.
Water either along the edge of the pot, or below, you can also put the flowerpot in a bowl of warm water, get out in 10 minutes, wait until the whole excess moisture is dragging and put in the pot. This handsome man also loves a fairly high humidity and it is better to hold a pot with cyclamen on a tray with wet gravel, or just near the water.
Water cyclamen along the edge of the pot, or from below
When Cyclamen fades, and these are the months of the March April, you should remove yellowed peduncles and leaves, gently “turning them out” from the tuber to prevent decay.
The tuber itself is transferred to a darkened non -fire, some gardeners put it on the side. Accordingly, we reduce watering, moisturize occasionally so as not to allow the drying out of the earthen coma. Around the end of August, young leaves will begin to appear at Cyclamen.
The plant should be transplanted, at the same time, not forgetting that it does not like excess of the earth – the pot should be slightly larger than the tuber, and it, respectively, will perform almost a third of the ground. As a substrate, a mixture of one part of sand and two parts of coconut fiber, sheet humus, bark is ideal. At this time, we resume watering, rearrange cyclamen on the window, and already in November it will again delight us with its beautiful flowering.
