Cyclamen plants are one of the best winter bloomers. Over the years, growers have come up with many new hybrids for us to enjoy. Some have ruffled flowers, and some varieties are miniature, but all maintain a large bright flower, usually in red, pinks, maroons and white. All cyclamen display green or variegated heart shaped leaves.
At Gertens, we take pride in offering only the finest quality plants, and our poinsettias are no exception. Every poinsettia you'll find in our store is Gertens Grown, nurtured with care right here at our own facilities. With thousands grown each year, you can trust that our poinsettias are healthy, vibrant, and ready to bring holiday cheer to your home. Explore our beautiful selection of locally grown poinsettias and add a festive touch to your holiday decor!
Care for your cyclamen
In your home, cyclamen like to be a little on the cooler side with temperatures around 61˚F.
Keep them in direct light or bright indirect light.
While in bloom, keep the root ball moist. Cyclamen should be kept moist by watering in a tray and allowing the roots to take up the water rather than watering from above the plant which can lead to rotting. Remove yellow leaves and spent flowers.
Feed the plant every two weeks. Do NOT overfeed. Less is more.
When cyclamen are done blooming you can discard the corm (compost it) or save it. After the foliage dies back, the plant should be left to dry. The corm should then be dug and repotted in midsummer and placed in a warm place so it can establish roots before returning it to a cool 55 - 60˚ F. to encourage flowering.
You can also move a cyclamen outside in April - the plant will take a freeze, but you should be careful to acclimate the plant so the change isn't too great, both from a temperature and sunlight perspective.
Tip: Easy to use soil moisture and light meters can help ensure your cyclamen and other houseplants receive the proper water and light. Mini-floral snips are handy for trimming and shaping.
