Cyclamen are elegant flowering plants known for their uniquely shaped, upswept petals and vibrant colors. They bloom in shades of pink, red, white, and purple, making them a delightful addition to any indoor space.
Light Needs: Cyclamen prefer bright, indirect light. Place them near a window where they can receive filtered sunlight. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, as it can scorch their delicate leaves.
Water Needs: Water Cyclamen thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. It's important to water them from the bottom to avoid getting water on the foliage, which can cause rot. Simply place the pot in a shallow tray of water for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the plant to absorb water through the drainage holes.
Humidity Needs: Cyclamen appreciate high humidity levels, ideally between 50-60%. You can increase humidity by misting the plant occasionally or placing it on a tray of pebbles filled with water (ensure the pot is above the water line).
