About Cyclamen

Cyclamen are charming tuberous perennials, popular for their vibrant, upswept flowers and attractive marbled foliage. They are often grown as houseplants in the UK during winter, but many hardy species thrive outdoors, bringing colour to gardens when little else is in bloom.

Outdoor garden plant. Flowering. Typically flowers around Sep, Oct, Nov.

How to care for Cyclamen

💧 Watering

Water from the bottom for indoor plants to avoid crown rot. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged for outdoor varieties, especially during dry spells.

🌿 Feeding

Feed indoor cyclamen with a dilute liquid feed every 2-4 weeks when in flower. Hardy outdoor types generally don't require much feeding.
