Light
During the winter months, Cyclamens are in a bloom cycle. Keep them in a bright, spot out of direct light. These plants prefer temperatures between 50 and 70 degrees, so make sure no heat vents or drafts are nearby.
During the summer months, or in between bloom cycles, they can be moved to a darker, cooler location to rest.
Water
Cyclamens need minimal water requirements. Insufficient water needs is the number one reason these plants fail. Allow the soil to dry out at least an inch below the surface before watering. A good rule of thumb for watering Cyclamems are to only water when the container feels so light it might blow over.
Fertilizer
Feed your Cyclamen with a low nitrogen fertilizer every few weeks while in bloom. Do not fertilize when not blooming.
Pro Tip
When the plant goes into dormancy, it will lose leaves, and some will turn yellow. It may look like the plant is dying. This is normal, and with reduced water and light, it will rest before blooming again.
Pro Tip
Cyclamen will start to droop when they need water.
