Care – If you are growing your Cyclamen in a pot, water when the mix has almost dried out, or when you notice the leaves only just starting to wilt. Ideally, they liked to be watered from the bottom, by placing the pot in a bowl of water and allowing capillary action for the plant to take up the water. Liquid fertilise in the growing season with a high potassium fertiliser. In the garden plant you Cyclamen in a protected, shady area with well drained soil. Enrich the soil using compost or manure and add a soil release fertiliser when planting. Only water when plants are showing a sign of drying out as the corm may rot in the soil if too wet. Monitor for pests such as slugs, snails and caterpillars.
