Plant Profile: Cyclamen

Known for their winter colour, and being ideal for growing both in and outside of the house Cyclamen are a vibrant little flower that can really bring your space to life.

Available in a mix of stunning colours, Cyclamen flowers stand tall above the patterned/textured leaves making a real statement.

Sunlight: Keep in a cool, sheltered position with moderate light. In summer, ensure they get shade.

Soil: When growing in ground, ensure you’re soil is well draining and friable by adding plenty of organic matter like ActivGrow Soil Improver or Garden Soil prior to planting out.

Potting Mix: Cyclamen are a very popular choice to keep potted, so they can be moved indoors and out. Choose a high quality potting mix like Rocky Point Coco Pro Professional Potting Mix.

Watering: In ground, give them minimal water while they are dormant, but regular watering during growing/flowering season – water the garden around the plant, not the plant directly. In pots, bottom watering is recommended by sitting them in a saucer or tub of water and allowing it to absorb through the drainage holes in the pot.

Feeding: Regular feeding with a seaweed concentrate is ideal.
