1. Sufficient light: Cyclamen persicum is a bulb flower that blooms in winter and spring. It likes plenty of light, and it takes some time to bloom in both the growing and flowering periods. But summer is the dormant period of cyclamen, so it should be kept in a place without direct light, sheltered from rain and in a cool and ventilated place.
2. Soil selection: Cyclamen persicum has slender succulent stems and strict requirements on soil to avoid root injury or breathing difficulties. The soil should be loose and fertile, with good drainage and ventilation. Peat and perlite can be mixed according to the ratio of 2: 1 in family maintenance, or they can be cultivated with the remaining waste base materials of mushroom cultivation.
3. Water and fertilizer management: Cyclamen needs sufficient fertilizer in the maintenance process, and it is fertilized once a week during the growth period. Diluted liquid nitrogen fertilizer can be selected, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be supplemented at flowering stage. When watering flowers, keep the soil moist, and don't let the soil completely dry. When changing pots and turning over soil, the soil should be disinfected to avoid breeding pests and diseases.
Matters needing attention of cyclamen
First of all, the watering problem
It is very important to cultivate flowers and water cyclamen well. Because the root system of cyclamen has lost its fleshy root, it is very easy to fester due to stagnant water. Once watered too much, leaves and flowers will fall down.
And what needs our attention is that when watering cyclamen, we must be careful not to pour it on leaves or flowers, just wait until the soil is dry and then water it again. Huahua also reminds everyone that cyclamen should be placed in a ventilated place after watering, so that water will evaporate well with the air, which can effectively avoid water accumulation.
Second, the problem of summer vacation.
It is also important to raise cyclamen to help it spend the summer safely. Cyclamen likes a cool growing environment, and is generally suitable for living in an environment of 10 to 25 degrees. Therefore, when the temperature rises in summer, cyclamen leaves tend to turn yellow and enter a dormant state. Therefore, if you want cyclamen to bloom beautiful flowers in autumn and winter, you should attach great importance to it in summer. Never water in the sun. As long as it is kept in a cool and ventilated environment, cyclamen can still spend the summer smoothly.
