Yellow Leaves?

I just bought a cyclamen plant (I'm pretty sure that is what it is), and of course I repotted it into a bigger pot (the store pots are too small). I bought other plants, and repotted them too, so I don't think the soil is the cause (but I'm no plant expert). Now, the leaf edges are turning yellow, and some leaves are brown %26amp; dead. I put the plant directly into the sunlight, then took it out as I noticed more yellowing after I did this.


What can I do for this plant?


How do I care for a cyclamen?





Thanks SO Much for you help!

Yellow Leaves?
Cyclamens are sensitive to too much water, they will turn yellow and wilt if they are kept too wet. Also the same is true if they are too dry, but usually the yellowing is a result of too much moisture. The need indirect light, not sun as they are a shade plant. They do go dormant in the summer, but they are one of the easiest plants to care for. Here's more info:

Reply:To much water can cause this.





Lots of people will go a month or so without watering. Then, all at once they drown their plants.





Give just enough water to dampen the soil, about once a week. Be regular about it.
Reply:Did you feed it? Or get potting soil with food added? You not supposed to feed a newly transplanted plant. It could cause leaf burn.Also to much water does it. Maybe you packed the soil to tight around the roots.Sounds like to much water to me. Byee
Reply:I think you are over watering it and you should not give it a lot of sunlight especially from 11am-1am.


Hope it works.


Chanel no. 5?

Chanel no. 5 perfume is supposed to derive from white Jasmine flowers. As a child, I used to walk through the woods growing with wild Cyclamen. I would love to find a perfume, that would bring back the gorgeous smell off those flowers.

Chanel no. 5?
I have both Chanel no. 5 and fragrant cyclamen plants. I too love the smell of cyclamen. I don't know of a fragrance that duplicates that incredible fragrance but I do know that some cyclamen available today have a wonderful fragance! I always take my time selecting them because some are fragrant and other are sort of musty smelling. Chanel no.5 is a classy fragrance that may capture some of that scent but don't expect it to match, but they do have a certain richness in common.
Reply:I am a big ,big fan of Chanel, but personally for me No5 is a little heavy, test it before you buy as fragrance can smell different on people due to your skin chemistry.
Reply:which one is this called
Reply:not sure but it smells gorgeous...try it or ask for some for Xmas!
Reply:Yeah there are some great fragrance brands that can create a fragrance from your favourite flower.
Reply:I know, why don't you try Chanel no 5?
Reply:Yea try it

More gardening problems...?

I bought three cyclamen, planted them last fall, and one came up in April. I realized I had put it in a hazardous position, dug it up, planted it in a pot, forgot about it, it died.


Is that it? I mean, is there any way to revive it, or is it completely dead?


What about the two others?

More gardening problems...?
Is the corm dried up completely? When it is completely dead... and I've pulled this off a few times.... a corm or bulb will be fragile and almost want to fall into a pile of dust when you touch it. As it dries out it is like a bad onion... the layers slowly peel apart from each other. As long as it is still in this stage, you can save it!





Just baby it the best you can... if you have it in a pot, try watering from the bottom. This will reduce rot damage to the corm and encourage the roots to come out into the evenly watered soil.
Reply:Cyclamen prefer cool weather and generally grow best in the winter and spring. I have found that in my area, they go dormant and lose all their foliage at the first sign of warm weather and start to regenerate around Halloween.
Reply:roots might have went dormant-water and see what happens-they should revive in a few weeks if not they dead-they others replant and dont forget to water till they get a new foot hold

Reply:The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has a very large collection of Worcester and there is also a museum in Worcester which you ought to go and see.


I have checked all of the painter's of Worcester from my books but none seem to be right for the subject matter. James Hadley seemed to fit but he died in 1903





Are you sure it is Royal Worcester? A similar mark with JSW was used by the Wild Brothers for their Royal Albert porcelain


I have to 2 cyclamens and both are leaves are going really yellow can someone help , what im i doing wrong ?

Cyclamens are not endurance plants. I find that one of two things cause them to yellow. Too much water, and too little light. If it is too much water, you'll have perfectly healthy leaves mixed with yellowing ones. The yellowing ones will be very mushy when they are pinched to be removed. Flowers will react in the same way. Lift the plant root zone out of the pot it is in. If there is water left behind in the pot, the soil drips with water, or if you squeeze it lightly (like Charmin) and water drips out of the soil, too much water is the culprit.





If it is too little light. There will be few or no flowers. Usually older leaves will yellow first and the leaves won't be mushy like if it were over watered.





Typically gift (indoor) cyclamen are discarded after they are done blooming, because it is difficult to get them to re-bloom and they need a dormant season as well. They do not make good (long lived) houseplants.

When plants stop flowering, reduce the amount of moisture to allow soil to completely dry out between waterings. Keep plants in indirect light, out of the sun.





In spring, repot plants in new soil positioning the corm at the same depth it was growing before. Note that the older corms of large plants may be a third to halfway out or the soil. If possible, move plants to a shady pot outdoors for the summer when night temperatures are reliably over 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep the soil barely moist. The old leaves will eventually fall off after new leaves have grown in. Don't despair if you let your cyclamen get completely dry and the foliage is lost. After re-applying moisture, new leaves generally grow back.





In fall, bring plants indoors before nighttime temperatures fall below the 40 degree range. Night readings of 40 to 50 degrees and daytime temperatures of 65 degrees are ideal to set flower buds. Higher nighttime temperatures will produce fewer and smaller blooms.





An unheated bedroom may be ideal up to and during bloom. Bring this long-blooming plant out for you and visitors to enjoy. Provide as much sun as possible, fertilize every other week and provide constant moisture during this period. If plants dry out, the flower buds will drop.





Cyclamens bloom in white, pink, red and lavender. They come in standard, 12 inch types as well as miniature half this size. Expect bloom any time between October and March.
Reply:There might not be anything wrong., Now this depends on whether your cyclamens are indoors or outdoors. This type of plant is not a long liver. After it has done its blossoming, the foliage tends to start dying off. Clip off all the blooms, particulary when they are spent. Yellowing leaves is usually a sign that the cyclamen plant is done doing its thing. You might also be overwatering but it just sounds like the plant has run its course and is going dormant.


Can someone help me?

I bought a Cyclamen plant and I wanted to know how to take care of it.So I went to wikipedia and said that the plant is poisonus. If it is poisonus were is the posion is, also does it affect humans or animals

Can someone help me?
The plant might be poisionious if you try to eat it. A lot of plants are. Go to barnes and noble and either look it up there or buy the book. For the most part they don't like a super ton of water and like an east window and be sure to groom underneath the plant. Remove rotting stems and dead blooms
Reply:Cyclamens are lovely. Water it from the bottom when the top of the soil appears dry. This means put it in a dish of water intil the top of the soil again looks moist. 1/2 strenght food every other watering. Bright light, not a lot of direct sun. Avoid temps above 74 F. Remove fading leaves and flowers with a snap at the base, dont leave log stems to rot and take the rot to the corm. You will see new leaves and flowers all coming from a central point . when that stops. stop watering. it needs a dry dormant spell. keep it in a cool dark dry place for several months, then start watering again and but back in bright light.


Plants are classified as poisonous if the cause a mild rash, if they make you nauseous when eaten in large quantities, or if they kill you with a small nibble. and all in between. Take it with a grain of salt and don't let small children or pets chew on plants that are not suitable as food.
Reply:i have one and have it sitting in my kitchen window which gets full light.. i have light yellow curtains so it gets full filtered light... i live in illinois.... mine blooms all the time.. it doenst like a lot of water.. i water when it starts to look dry on the top and am always picking of the dead leaves and the dead flowers... good luck!
