Cyclamen

The dainty winged flowers of cyclamen, C. persicum, with the ring of marbled heartshaped foliage makes a favorite winter flowering plant. Usually available throughout the holiday season, they come in colors of coral, white, pinks, fuchsia red, and bi-colors.

How to care for your Cyclamen?

• bright light such as an eastern exposure
• room temperatures cool, 60-65 °F even 50 °F at night.
• high humidity and moist soil suit cyclamens; a water tray filled with pebbles underneath is good for them
• feed with diluted, balanced (the three numbers equal) fertilizer
• the plants go dormant after their long bloom period
