How to Grow Cyclamen

Choose a pot with drainage holes and place it in a warm position with plenty of indirect light.

Fill half the pot with Yates Specialty Potting Mix Plants & Ferns.

Position plant into the pot and fill in with remaining mix.

Water in well and keep moist. Avoid wetting the leaves.

Feed plants with Yates Thrive Indoor Plants Liquid Plant Food every 2-4 weeks during periods of flowering and leaf growth.

Most of the time when a Cyclamen's leaves wilt, or droop, it is a watering issue. Only water when the potting mix or soil is starting to dry out slightly. Water in the morning, and avoid overhead watering - you can do this by using a watering can that has a long and thin spout, or by sitting the pot in a saucer of water and then removing it after an hour or so.

Cyclamens are sometimes attacked by Mites and Thrips; and are sometimes infected by Root Rot diseases, Grey Mould and Powdery Mildew.
