How to keep a cyclamen, flowering bought? Checked - tips work

Hello, fans of indoor plants!

It's hard to go past the shop window, the glass that adorns blooming cyclamen. Flowers fluttering butterfly on the background of the rich leaves in the shape of a heart and admired like a whisper: "Buy me, buy!"

After unsuccessful attempts I managed to keep my cyclamen, bought last spring in stores. I share with you, my beloved readers, their experiences. Read to the end of care tips: small talk at the end of a bonus secret 😊

Transplant after buying or not - is an age-old dilemma

I usually just transplant all plants purchased in the store. But Cyclamen exception of my personal rules. He bloomed so beautifully, that the risk of losing the cap colors seemed to me unbearable.

I waited until cyclamen ottsvetot. Since the purchase took place somewhere 3 weeks. Just do not tell, not to tell lies. And quietly transplanted at the same time examining the tuber.

But if you notice that the soil in the pot to the purchase Persian cyclamen completely wet, then do not delay action. In stores all the plants watered indiscriminately. A bay for Cyclamen - a terrible enemy: the rotten tuber rescue very difficult. If not impossible!

In any case, a transplant is needed. But emergency or not - you decide. Listen to your flower and he will respond 😊 only add that after the home transplants are better left on the surface of the upper third of the tuber: Again, to avoid tuber rot and death of the growing point.

Optimal conditions

Although the species of cyclamen, purchased in the store, called "Persian," I would say rather that he is "Dutch". All cyclamen located on the shelves in Russia, originally from the Netherlands.

These hybrids Persian cyclamen somehow adapted to the microclimate of the Russian Apartments. But after the content of the ideal conditions of the Dutch greenhouses, generously flavored with stimulants can experience a lot of stress after moving into your home.

So try to provide them with attractive conditions:

• Cyclamen not tolerate the sun a place. Well, if they will stand for the larger green comrades. As I cyclamen is adjacent to the geraniums.
• Water only in the pan - so water will not get in the tuber. I put in a pot filled tray and wait until the wetted top soil. The water from the sump necessarily merge, otherwise trouble is inevitable.
• Cyclamen enjoy cool. If your house has a cool room - no doubt this is the best place for cyclamen.

• feed up complex mineral fertilizer for flowering plants whole growing season (until grows aboveground part). Once cyclamen starts to go into hibernation, fertilizing is not necessary.
• Do not panic 😊, when cyclamen flowers and leaves to dry. Feel the tuber - if it is hard, then all is well. Just the flower began a period of rest when watering should be reduced to a minimum.

The wild ancestors of cyclamen bloomed during the cold season. And our home flower remembers it. All the time is not sleeping cyclamenI put around the tuber snow (in winter) or ice from the freezer (rest of the year). Not always, of course, but I try to indulge at least every other day.
