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.

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

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

CYCLAMENS! How do I not kill them?!?
I love cyclamens, but for love nor money can I get them to survive. I'm normally a green thumb (really!) My mum told me to put them outside as they thrive in the cold, but that didn't work, but having them inside doesn't seem to help either. Any tips?
CYCLAMENS! How do I not kill them?!?
There are a couple of different kinds of Cyclamens. The larger, more showy flowered ones are strictly for inside use, unless you live in a hot climate. The small flowered ones are the outside type. Yes, they die back during the summer months. And, yes, they like a shady location. They don't require any special attention. I have a patch of them in very nasty, clay soil and they have been pretty happy there for about fifteen years.
Reply:Cyclamen must be kept dry and shaded. They disappear during the summer and then reappear and bloom in the Fall. The foliage then remains until the next Summer.

Why havent you guys answered my question ?pleaseeee?
what do i do with my cyclamen bulb?.the flowers are slowly starting to die
Why havent you guys answered my question ?pleaseeee?
Cyclamens are very susceptible to a number of diseases.....many of which can exhibit the symptoms you've just described. Some of the more familiar diseases are; "Root Rot", "Gray Mold" and "Soft Rot"...all of which can make your flowers wilt suddenly.
One of the things you need to remember is that Cyclamen's should NOT be watered from above. It's best to use a drip system or to soak the soil without having any splashing water. Also, make sure you use sterile potting media when planting.
I've found a site that will help you identify and treat your remaining plants to avoid further loss. However, I would strongly suggest that you purchase a product online called; "RootShield", which contains a beneficial fungus called "Trichoderma harzianum". You can mix these fungal spores with water and then apply them to cyclamen tubers to prevent any of the aforementioned diseases from attacking your plants. "RootShield" can also protect your lawn and other ornamental plants in your landscape and in your home.
I've used the product on my lawn nearly 14 years ago and I've not had to use any fungicides since.
Hope this has answered your question.

Reply:Okay - you want cyclamens!
Here is the NORMAL cycle for cyclamens in your garden (or at least in my garden in California!!). My cyclamens are planted in a shady place that gets morning sun. They usually start blooming in December. Mine are still blooming now -- but are getting near the end. Pretty soon the flowers will disappear and then the leaves will fall off. I put little sticks in the ground so that I will know where bulbs are (so I don't dig there!!). In the late fall, I start to see the leaves coming up -- babies too!! They proliferate well if they like the area!!
I usually buy cyclamen plants in the winter to have in my kitchen. They last longer than bouquets! (I put a pot or two in a basket). I plant them out in my garden after they stop blooming. Then I get a "surprise" the next winter when they re-bloom in my yard!!! I have never tried bringing them back into my house (new ones are not expensive!).
I hope this helps! Good Luck!

If not, then are you removing the dead flowers? New flowers should come up to replace them. If you leave the "dead" flowers on the plant may encourage the plant to put all its effort into forming seeds instead of new flowers.
Is the pot getting enough sun, water and a mild liquid fertilizer every once in a while? Without the proper conditions it won't flower.
Hope that is what your looking for, and good luck.

**ANYBODY know what is wrong with my CYCLAMEN?
Last weekend, I bought 2 beautiful cyclamen in our local Farmer's Market. They looked healthy and bushy green; one had several white blossoms and the other had 2 red blossoms.
They had been thoroughly watered and were, in fact, dripping wet when the salesgirl wrapped them up for me.
I put them on saucers on my new "plant rack" in my living room, which receives about 5 hours of afternoon sunlight. A few days later I noticed that they were drooping and as of today, most of the leaves are yellow, most of the stems are limp and only one or two of the stems have remained upright. The flowers have not opened and the remaining stalks with buds look almost dead.
I feel as though I've murdered my two plants!! :(
Can someone who is wise in the way of CYCLAMEN please tell me how to take care of them in the future? I'd like to buy more because I like them but I need some horticultural advice here before I buy more. I appreciate your help.
Thanks very much!!
**ANYBODY know what is wrong with my CYCLAMEN?
I grew cyclamen for commercial sale and at home
top reason they die prematurely is watering from the top
sounds like what happened
they like it cool-mine is in a east window between the curtains and window.
If the night temperature is cooler, better bud development.
When the soil surface is dry water from below by setting in a bowl of water a couple of inches deep.
You can actually wait to water til the plant begins to droop a little.
don't fertilize while in full bloom.
remove flowers as they begin to fade.
they do well in clay pots but you can grow then in plastic without trouble.
when you buy one make sure they haven't been watering into the crown (center) of the plant.
Reply:I don't like doing this, but if you refer to the sight below, it should give you some detail on the problem. It may not be the water, or the sun but the TEMP at where they were kept that caused the problem Good luck!
Reply:Care
Potting Soil: Cyclamen persicum does best planted in a soil-based potting mix, with the top of the tuber just slightly above the soil line.
Water:
* When leaves are present, the plant is actively growing. Water whenever the soil feels dry. Avoid getting water on the crown of the plant.
* As the flowers begin to fade, gradually allow the plant to dry out for 2-3 months. It's going into a dormant stage (see below) and any excess water will cause the tuber to rot.
* New growth will probably start to appear around September. At this point, resume watering and feeding. Bring it back indoors before the cold weather.
Humidity: High humidity, especially during winter, is crucial. Keep the cyclamen on a tray of water with a layer of pebbles or something else to form a shelf for the cyclamen pot to sit on. Do not let the cyclamen itself sit in the water.
Fertilizer: Feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer every couple of weeks while in full leaf.
Light: Give cyclamen bright, indirect light in the winter. While your plant is dormant during the summer, keep it out of bright light.
Temperature: Cyclamen do not like heat, but they are not frost hardy. Do not expose to temperatures below 50 degrees F. Avoid drafts as well as hot, dry air.
Reply:They need to be in a cool environment ; they like it when the daytime temp does not go above 70 degrees and evening temps go to 40-50 degrees. Also, do not overwater them.
I love cyclamen, too, but I live in Florida and my house is rarely below 70 degrees. I could never grow them successfully :-(

They had been thoroughly watered and were, in fact, dripping wet when the salesgirl wrapped them up for me.
I put them on saucers on my new "plant rack" in my living room, which receives about 5 hours of afternoon sunlight. A few days later I noticed that they were drooping and as of today, most of the leaves are yellow, most of the stems are limp and only one or two of the stems have remained upright. The flowers have not opened and the remaining stalks with buds look almost dead.

Cyclamen and roses indoor?
I've just bought a potted cyclamen and a potted small rose bush. I've put them on my window sill but im not very experienced in the gardening area. Does anyone have any helpful tips of the best way I can look after them? Iv been watering them both by pouring the water into the trays instead of via the top of the soil. and iv been removing any dead leaves etc. but because they are inside to i need to anything else in particular? is there a need for fertiliser? and does anyone know how big i can expect them to grow? thanks very much x
Cyclamen and roses indoor?
The cyclamen will continue to flower for a short while and then the flowers will fade and you then stop watering to let the plant dry out. when it has dried to the point where the leaves are brown (this is part of its normal cycle) you can put it outside in a sunny place. next August or September put it into fresh potting compost, plant it very shallowly, as it is now then water it and bring it indoors again. If you are lucky it will start to throw leaves and start flowering again.
The miniature rose is not so easy. These are really bred for short term decoration and should be regarded as disposable. If you want to try and keep it for longer than a few months then get some fertilizer for pot plants, Miracle-Gro is good, keep the plant in a bright but not sunny position. Water when the surface has dried out. It is better not to leave it in a tray of water. Mix the fertilizer to indoor-plant strength (instructions on the bottle or box) and feed it about once a fortnight during spring and summer but just water it in autumn and winter. It will be tricky to keep it going in the long term indoors, you can plant it outside in a pot or the ground and it might survive longer. good luck.

Which bulbs can I grow in my shady garden and where can i find them?
Which bulbs can i grow in my shady garden in this season .And where can i find them.I have very shady patio which doesnt get much light.Where can I find the bulbs.Please let me know options other than begonia and cyclamen
Which bulbs can I grow in my shady garden and where can i find them?
hostas, bleeding hearts, lamium, ferns, periwinkle, begonias, blue bells, merry bells, hydrangeas, astilbe, foam flowers, primrose, Jacobs ladder, lily of the valley... ;)
You can get them at local nurseries, hardware stores or on line at place like Michigan bulb…
Reply:If the shade is from deciduous trees, I would recommend spring-flowering bulbs such as daffodills, crocuses, snowdrops, tulips, hyacinths. They will complete their cycle before the trees are fully leafed out. They need to be planted in autumn. The bulbs should be available at that time in garden centers.
Reply:Hello,
Michigan bulb co has a beautiful assortment of bulbs for all types of weather and zones.
Take a look.....
Happy gardening,
Secily
Reply:Most seed catalogs have bulbs called toad lillies. They range from bizarre to spectacular. The need shade and moist soil.
Reply:www.burpee.com they have a whole section on shady gardens.
Reply:OK, you say nothing about your zone, whether you want perennials in the ground , or potted plants on the patio, so I guess we are wide open here. Most of what you are looking for may actually be rhizomes or tubers rather than true bulbs.
Caladiums are a favorite here even though they do not winter over, lots of choices in leaf color and pattern. Cut the flowers off if they develop.
Hostas are terrific for leaves (and blooms) and are winter hardy in much of the US.
Astillbes offer height and flowers and are also hardy.
Although daylillies should have some sun, some will tolerate more than a 1/2 day shade and still bloom well.
Please keep in mind that most bulbs don't have a season long bloom period. I think you might be pleased with the longer lasting effect of the interesting leaves of caladiums and Hostas. The variety is tremendous. They are easily found in dormant form (bare root) or as potted plants for spring planting in garden sections or by catalog order. Common forms are fairly cheap and can go up to collector prices easily.
There are others, bergenia, foxglove, ladys slipper, lily of the valley, to name a few that tolerate alot of shade.

What are the best conditions for cultivating cyclamens?
In New England in the greenhouses in the winter,
No Shade, but dry top pots. So flood floor watering is best because fungus gnats will build up and the larva will devastate the root ball of the Cyclamen plant. Also, thrips and spider mites can be a problem so good scouting practices all winter and quick reaction to insect HOT SPOTS are recommended.
What are the best conditions for cultivating cyclamens?
Semi shade position, plants are dormant for 1/2 the year.
Water plants via the roots as the stem and leaf is highly prone to fungal infections. If you can, sit the pot in water so only bottom get wet, or inject water or use drippers to avoid leaf contact.
Reply:Plant 5cm deep in moderately fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil. Avoid excessive summer moisture and mulch well when leaves wither.

How will I take care of my plant?
I'll be away for a few months over the summer but I don't want my beautiful pink cyclamen to die because it makes me happy when I see it every day!
I usually water it every few days because it is a thirsty plant, and it is thriving right now.
How do I keep it alive while I'm away over the summer? My friends are going away also, so I can't have a friend take care of my plant.
How will I take care of my plant?
Go to your nearest hospital/clinic/drugstore and ask them if you can get a number of empty drip bags (those things they use in hospital to slowly administer medicine/liquids) with the control thing on the tube still intact. Refill a lot of them and tie them one way or another above the plant and set the drip to a very slow drip rate. Please test the volume it will administer and work out how long it will last. Possibly you will be able to go away and come back in a few months time with the plant well watered and still alive.
You must get a lot of the drips to be able to set it at a very slow rate but the quantity of water must be sufficient to sustain the plant. Alternatively you must be able to organize a big container with the drip gadget on to last the time that you are gone.
Hope your plant survives.
If you are one of those who talk to the plant, you must leave a recording of your talking on a timer as well !
Reply:Ask your local plant nursery if they are willing to baby sit your plant, or maybe the same place where you bought it, they may be willing to take care of it...
Reply:get a friend who lives close by to take care of it while u are gone and have them water it every 2 or 3 days
Reply:Make sure this is not an illegal plant if you know what im saying. Put the plant in a spot where it will recieve the most sunlight in AM hours and hopefully it will not go through a summer drought.
Reply:Most Home Depot or Lowes or local suppliers store will have a timer based sprinker...just buy one of those, hook it up,,, with very low water pressure.
Reply:my advise would be to have you go to a green house and tell them to take care of your plant----for some cash of course, but its better than having your plant die.then once you come back take it back.
p.s. make sure they dont sell it while you're gone!
lol,
good luck
Reply:Do you have a neighbor that you could ask? I am not good with cyclamen (mine have died), sorry that I can't help you myself. Are you in school? Could you ask someone that you work with?

Reply:make a plant collar to go around the base of the plant on the top of the soil. take 3 to 4 layers of news paper cut it out the size of the pot and make a whole in the middle to fit around the plant place this around the plant and water till soaked. this will water the plant for a while not sure how long though. also take a bowl and set the plant down in it or a tray of some kind that will hold quite a bit of water but isn't very deep and set the base of the pot in it. and put the water in this will hold it quite a while also the plant will drink in through the roots after the paper dries up so the paper will last several days and the tray of water will last a while. but really you should take the plant to someone and ask them to take care of it while you are away.
Reply:You must either buy an automatic watering system or leave ti with someone else. Cyclamen cannot go months without water. I must be watered at least every 3-4 days. The soild just needs to stay moist so watering every 4 days at the least is probably necessary. If you can't get an automatic waterer or a neighbor - get a new Cyclamen when you return. SORRY!

Reply:You can purchase an item from your local nursery or Home Depot that is a watering device, I don't know what it is called. It has a plastic stake that you put into the dirt next to the plant, and has a plastic container of water that connects to it. The plant takes the water as needed. It works, I have used one.

Which of these bulbs should be discarded after blooming once?
I have following bulbs and corms. So Which of these should be discarded after blooming once?
Tulip, Hyacinth, Paperwhite, Narcissus, Tuberose, Gladiolus, Cyclamen,Lilly,Iris.
Which of these bulbs should be discarded after blooming once?
They could all flower again as has been stated. To do this often requires more effort than is really viable. We are often seeking to reproduce the near perfect blooms that have nee created by growers in computer controlled artificial environments.
However, Paperwhites, (type of Narcissus), and Hyacinth are often 'pre-treated' to enourage or synchronise blooming. Hyacinth blooms in particular are not as good after the first flowering. Tulips can quite soon develop virus problems and many buy fresh each year. Iris, (presume you mean the Dutch Iris), are similar to those first described in that they are bred and fed to be gorgeous the first year but they then pale over successive years.
Of the others, with care and feeding they will come again. Try to see exactly what species or variety of bulb you have and read up about the conditions it needs to thrive. If you have these then half the work will be done for you as the bulbs will be happy. Don't waste your time with those that will be too much effort as you may fail and then be frustrated at the lack of success.
Bear in mind that I am in Scotland and your conditions will be very different to mine. Cheers
Reply:None, with proper care, they will all bloom again.
Reply:I wouldn't discard any of them. Plant them out.
Reply:None, the beauty of all of them is that they will bloom and return year after year (within reason, not forever) if planted properly

How do I take care of my pot plant?
A way I use for watering african violets that need constant though not great deal of water is to sit the pot on aonther larger container that has a lid and holds alot of water. Then run a couple pieces of yarn through the bottom of the cyclamen pot and down into the pot containing the water. This will be a continuous supply of water while you are gone
Reply:LOL okay, first of all, you will want to use the term "potted" plant and not "pot" plant else others might think you are growing something illegal! The next thing is....you will have to hire someone to come in and water it, ask a co-worker to babysit it for you or give it away. I doubt any potted plant would last an entire summer without water....maybe a cactus....
Reply:u tell me when u find out please...i need some advice on my pot plants as well

Info on Cyclamen?
I have just purchased my first variety of this plant, please give me some info if possible on the best way to look after it. Thankyou
Info on Cyclamen?
Are you planning to keep it indoors or out. If indoors keep it in a nice, warm well lit area. Place some pebbles in a bowel and top with water (just over the pebbles) and stand your Cyclamen in the pot in the bowl. Discard spent flowers, and never spray water on the leaves, or flowers. Good luck.
Reply:Are you keeping it as a houseplant or will you be planting outdoors? If outdoors, find a bright shady spot. (Sounds like an oxymoron, huh), but somewhere out of direct sun, keep fairly moist with mulch and water regularly. Wait till after the last frost and depending on where you live, it could last for years.
If indoors, you want a bright, filtered light, like a couple of feet away from a window. Keep the soil moist but not wet and trim off flowers as soon as they begin to wilt. This will help produce more flowers. Also, use a liquid fertilizer every couple of weeks or at least once a month. Always use tepid water, not cold out of the faucet.

What is killing my autumn bedding plants?
My primroses and cyclamen are rotting before my eyes. There is a kind of fungus in the hearts of the plants killing off the foliage and the flowers. It has spread to my tradescantia cuttings making the stems watery and weak. My pansies are unaffected but it is also on my baby chrysanthemums. I cannot identify it on fungal remedies at the garen centre...it isn't mildew and I am loathe to buy expensive preparations if I am not sure of the disease. The garden centre plants were being reduced to clear with the same disease! But he couldn't tell me what was wrong. Help!
What is killing my autumn bedding plants?
sounds like they were planted to deep and or the soil is way to wet.
Reply:Sounds like it might be rot (without seeing it it's hard to tell) - if there is overwatering and too much mulch that can happen. Contact your local Ag Extension Agent, or local Master Gardener program, and take some samples to them - they will not only be able to identify the issue, but make recommendations for solutions. (If you have a local Botanic Garden they might be able to help too.)

Cyclamen growth?
How do I water my cyclamen from the bottom to ensure it stays alive as long as possible?
Cyclamen growth?
put water in a cool whip bowl while the plant pot is sitting in it
the plant will draw the water up from the bottom
Reply:I have 4 cyclamen outside and they are growing beautiful. I water them once a week, form the top. I have done nothing else and they keep blooming for a very long time, more flowers each time
Reply:Stand the pot in a saucer and water the saucer watering when the soil is dry, making sure not to overwater as this can rot the plant.
Also, when a flower stem finishes blooming,it will form a seed head. Then the stem starts to bend towards the soil, in order to bury the seed to reproduce itself.Once this happens the plant will think its done its job and stop producing more flowers so....when a flower dies twist and pull it gently near the base of the stem to remove it, making sure not to leave any stem ,as this will rot and spread to the rest of the base of the plant.
Also stand the pot in a cool bright position to ensure a longer flowering period.
Reply:You can plant it higher and water the ground around it, or you can set it in rocks and water through the rocks to the roots below, or you can keep it in a pot and occasionally set the pot in the sink or a tub, put water up to the bottom of the bulbs for 5-8 minutes and then take it back out and drain the water - repeat as needed to keep the soil slightly moist.
Reply:If you're watering from the bottom, watch for hard water deposits that can get crusty on the top of the soil. They'll end up burning the tender stems and lower leaves of the plant.

Cyclamen problem?
I watered my cyclamen, just a bit, and all of the leaves and flowers drooped. Is there anything I can do or should I pitch it.
Cyclamen problem?
Cyclamen plants are very susceptible to a disease called "Fusarium Wilt". It attacks the vascular system within the plant--preventing water to be transmitted up into the foilage. I'd suggest you get rid of the plant and make sure you sterilize any infected tools, soil, pots, etc that came into contact with it before using them again.
When/IF you purchase your next cyclamen, try using a natural beneficial fungi that has been proven to be very useful against "Fusarium", "Pythium" and "Rhizoctonia" (all soil-borne diseases that attack most ornamental plants/shrubs).
There is a beneficial fungi called "Trichoderma" and it attacks these diseases and prevents their establishment. You can mix "Trichoderma" into your soil media and then plant your seeds or ornamentals into it. It has no detrimental affect on your desirable plants and will co-exist with them by setting up a protective barrier around the root system. It's also very effective on turf and will last for many, many months in the soil!
I've used "Trichoderma" professionally and at my home and am a firm believer in its use.
Here's a one of many websites that will accept orders online and ship to you;

Reply:Cyclamen prefer to receive a good soaking, and then to be allowed to dry out to some extent, before again receiving a good soaking. Generally, the woodland species require a more constant supply of moisture in order to thrive, although even they will not tolerate becoming waterlogged for any period of time without rot developing. Some growers believe that it is significantly better to always water pots from below, by standing them in water. Certainly this keeps the flowers in better condition and reduces the risk of botrytis, however, it is not a requirement and watering from above can be equally acceptable.
Reply:Overwatering gives the results you mentioned. Test for watering by lifting the pot. Light = dry, heavy = wet.
Reply:There could be a couple of things going on with your cyclamen. First of all cyclamen like cooler draftier areas. If you brought it home recently and its in a warm area it's not happy. If you have had your cyclamen for a while they actually do go through a dormant period. It generally doesn't come on as quickly as you're describing it, but it does happen. If you want to try and save the plant change it's location to a bright drafty area. If it is at all wet, let it dry out completely. Give it about a week to ten days to see if there are any new signs of life. If you don't see anything, pitch it!
Reply:Cyclamen is like an African Violet. They can't have their stems or leaves get wet. If the plant is all "soggy", then chances are you've drowned it and it's dead.
If you only water it from the bottom, and use 1/4 cup of water every 3 days, it should last a long time.
It is just one of those plants that only looks good in the stores....as soon as you bring them home, they turn ugly.

How do you sow and germinate cyclamen from a pod/seed.?
Cyclamen is very easy to grow. Sow it on top of seed-starting soil and keep evenly moist. I'd start them inside. These plants will seed themselves very easily if the pods are left on the plant over the winter.
Cyclamen seeds?
My Cyclamen plant which is over a year old had a seed pod that exploded on my kitchen widowsill, I collected loads and would like to try to grow them....does anyone know how easy are they to sow and when and how should I sow them?
Cyclamen seeds?
I have grown cyclamen from seed.
The "pods" develop after the flowers have withered, they grow into balls the size of blackcurrants.
I have just put the contents of these onto compost, and kept them alongside the adult plants.
The adult plants die back, dry off, and have a dormant period through the summer, and around August I water them and they start back into growth.
The "seeds" (actually liik like small cyclamen corms) then also start putting out leaves and growing on.
It has taken mine 2 or 3 years to grow to flowering size. I have 2 adult plants, and had hoped that the "babies" would be cross bred, and exhibit characteristics of both, but so far they all look like one or other of the mature plants.
I originally grew the adult plants from seed, bought in a packet, which were germinated in damp compost on the top of a central heating boiler - germination was slow and erratic, and of 13 seeds planted only 2 grew to maturity.
I have had better results with my own seeds.
Good Luck - it's fun but needs patience.

Reply:I am not sure of this plant, but I know how do you get (prety much any seed to grow). you need a wet napkin in a small plate, put the seeds there. The idea of this is that seeds need to grow small roots before you plant. So it should take you about a weak for them to grow. Then plant them in the ground. you should wet the napkin atleast everyday (it needs to be moist all the time) Hope this helps! =)) Thats how i grew my lemon tree. =)
Reply:Vegetative Reproduction
Cyclamen are plants which spend part of the year in growth, and part of the year in a dormant state, during which there is no living foliage, although is some species fruiting pedicels may remain in a vegetative state as the seed matures. During this dormant period the plant remains in the form of a subterranean tuber, which is in fact a swollen root As a tuber, the possibilities which exist for corms or bulbs do not exist, however, as in the case of a common potato (which is a similar organism), the tuber can be divided provided each portion has both a growth eye and part of the rooting region of the tuber.
This makes this operation more feasible in those species which have multiple growing points, such as Cyclamen graecum. However, since there are inevitable problems in efficiently sealing the cut edges to guard against rot, without the tuber desiccating, division of tubers is not a practical method of propagating plants regularly.
Experiments have been carried out in the use of Meristem culture to propagate Cyclamen, but it is not appropriate to detail this here.
Propagation from Seed
Amongst enthusiasts there is much discussion about the most efficient ways of germinating Cyclamen seed in order to obtain the most consistent and highest percentage of germination. Articles and notes concerning this regularly appear in the Society's journal, and research projects have been carried out by various individuals and organisations.

In 1992 the Society co-operated with the University of Reading, in the UK, who carried out experiments in the germination of Cyclamen seed, without the use of chemical additives, the results are now often referred to as The Reading Method

When is the best time to begin watering my newly re-potted cyclamen so that it is in flower for Christmas?
now is the time. keep it in a dark place and don't over water it.just a little till it's time to bring it out to bloom.halloween is a good time to bring it out.
My cyclamen double in size after I re potted in a larger pot, how soon should I re pot it again?
The best guide to when it needs re-potting is to look at the roots. Tip the plant out of the pot. If the roots are covering most of the soil and worse, if you cant see any soil, it is time to re-pot.
If you want to keep your plant in the same pot so it doesnt grow much more, replace about 3/4" of the soil all round the roots about once a year. Tease soil out from the roots if necessary. You can give the root ball a trim aswell if there are just too many roots.
My cyclamen double in size after I re potted in a larger pot, how soon should I re pot it again?
I think you should repot your plant as soon as you think the plant has gotten too big for its current pot. Also, keep a close eye on the leaves of your plant (withering, turning brown, becoming less firm than the others) and as a general tip, keep your plant free of brown, withered, and sickly looking leaves.
Reply:not more than once a year. and not if they don't need it as repotting can be stressful for the plant, however odd that might sound!!!

My cyclamen has yellow leaves. Too much or not enough water?
If the leaves are yellowing at the bottom, this is normal. As new flowers appear, there is only so much energy that the plant can support. Trim them off and don't water until the soil is dry a couple of inches below the soil line , make sure there is good drainage and good light. I toss mine after the blooming part is over and buy new ones though.

How exactly am I suppose to water it? According to these instructions it is very confusing. Also I live in Texas and the temperatures are never ideal for this plant how do I keep it cool? It's important to me to keep this plant alive please help. This is an inside plant right?
I already watered it from the top once will this automatically kill it?
I need help with a plant. Cyclamen?
It will not die from the one mistake. You will have a hard time keeping it alive but you can do it. Set it water for 10min. at a watering.
Reply:Cyclamen tubers are only half-buried in the potting mixture, and water should never be poured onto the tubers. Plants can be watered from below by placing the pot in a shallow water-filled container. This permits the potting mixture to take up as much water as it needs. After ten minutes the pot should be lifted out and allowed to drain. Cyclamen love to be well watered and allowed to dry out slightly between watering. that is what the page says to do i would just get a small dish and fill with water and put the pot that it is in in the dish and let the dirt get moist. i would put it by the a/c vent that might help it say cool. during the winter that might be hard. and i dont know if that would kill it watering it over the top. man did u get a picking plant. well good luck hope u can get it water some how. and dont kill it i would ask a nursey where u live if they can help u with it. they might know. or know someone how would.

How can I revive frostbitten cyclamen?
Check out the FAQ of the Cyclamen society, they do mention that some plants can take frost and snow and survive depending on teh variety you have. They are very hardy here (Texas) but I do take pots in garage in summer when very wet and let them dry completly before reviving them in late fall

You can't do anything now, but, once spring comes you can plant it outside (shade). Depending on the variety, it may or may not recover. Some types are meant to bloom and die. That's just the way it is.
But, others will grow on for years. It just depends.
Of course, you'll have to bring it inside next fall.

Ho do I keep my cyclamen (house plant) in bloom?
Cyclamens are bulbs, so they naturally die down over summer ... don't throw them away ... just keep them in their pots, stop watering them, and place them somewhere dry, and next winter they'll bloom beautifully again!
If they're not looking good inside in the middle of winter, bear in mind that they naturally live in cold wintery forests ... you can help mimic this environment by putting them outside in the cold night air at nighttime.
Most importantly, to keep them healthy, while they're still showing leaves or flowers, water them a few times a week, make sure their soil never dries out completely. But don't water them when they die down, as I said - store them somewhere, don't mistakenly think they're dead, they're not!

What time of the year do you plant cyclamen corms out side how deep and how far apart?
I bought cyclamen corms/bulbs this past fall..planted them in late september....planted 6 bulbs in light shade area...and I planted them among other shade plants (hosta). If is is hardy cyclamen and your up north..Id out my bulbs in the freezer until March(and plant them then)...hardy cyclamen requires 8 weeks or so of a freeze...if your down south...I cant help you...good luck
What time of the year do you plant cyclamen corms out side how deep and how far apart?
late autumn - early spring .
60 75 mm deep the position apart is up to yourself ( after all they will multiply ) but I'd suggest 100 - 200 mm . good luck .
Reply:Assuming you ahve bought the sort that are suitable for outside in the UK, then that information should be on the container you bought them in. They don't need to be very deep, but about 1ft apart would be good as they do get a lot bigger, I wouldn't plant them out until the spring.

Does anyone know whether Cyclamen and cape primroses would be ok outside as i am running out of indoor space?
Sorry, they both need to come in.

"Tip: Winter Care of Cyclamen
National Gardening Association
To keep your indoor cyclamen flowering beautifully, place pots in a cool (60F), bright, East facing window on a bed of pebbles in a tray of water. Mist weekly to prevent insects such as cyclamen mites from attacking."

"Cape Primrose (Streptocarpus)
LIGHT: The Cape Primrose is a relative of African Violets and prefers the same growing conditions of bright but indirect light. Avoid hot sun, which can burn the leaves and fade the flowers.
TEMPERATURE: Day and night temperatures of 60–75°F are fine year round.
WATERING: Water only when the top inch of the potting mix is dry to the touch. Providing water too frequently will cause the roots, leaves, and base of the plant to rot. If the leaves look wilted even when the soil is moist, you may be overwatering. Let the top inch of the potting mix dry out before watering again. Plants require less water during the winter months (November through February).
FERTILIZER: From spring through fall, apply a water-soluble fertilizer that is high in phosophorus (such as 15-30-15) every 3 weeks. Withhold fertilizer during the winter months, when your plant will stop growing actively and rest.
CONTINUING CARE: Use scissors to cut off the stalks of faded flowers. The tips of older leaves become dry as they age, and these too may be trimmed off. Repot your plant into a slightly larger pot in spring."

Reply:Depends on where you live...in zones 9-10, you could probably leave the cyclamen, out...It might however go dormant in the winter season...cyclamen, are native to the middle east; and go dormant in the colder drier months...The cape primrose, should be ok outside to zone 3, plant in light, to medium shade...

I keep killing off my Cyclamen help?
I have managed to kill two in the last 6 months what am I doing wrong. I never water them from above (i know not to do that) but this last one just started wilting on my and the stems went all mushy and now it has died. Does anyone know how I can bring it back to life? I have left it on a cool windowsill out of direct sunlight as I know it prefers this please help. (I promise I am not a plant killer all my other plants are very well) Thanks
I keep killing off my Cyclamen help?
Classic root rot from leaving the plant in too much water. Afraid it's a gonner if the stem is all "mushy" you can try and repot it in fresh soil. Pay attention to the roots, remove rotten ones if there are any left.
watering hint : lift pot, light = dry, water. heavy = wet, allow to dry out.
Cyclamen will grow in direct, full, all day sun. good luck
Reply:Sounds as if you are over-watering!!
Sit plant pot on a gravel base so it does not sit in water this will allow air to circulate %26amp; water sparingly.
Good Luck.

I just received a Cyclamen, again, how do I NOT KILL IT?
I've had these things before, they're beautiful when you first get them, and they just die! My kids gave me this one as a gift, and they would be so sad if I kill it! Best tips on care, PLEASE!!!
I just received a Cyclamen, again, how do I NOT KILL IT?
The best way not to kill it is to keep it cool (70 ish F) but not cold, moist, but not wet and lots of indirect sun but not a lot of direct sun. The cyclamen is a study in moderation. I have trouble with them too. Once you find the perfect spot and you remember to water it, but not too often, it will be a wonderful beautiful plant. I had one that survived over a year, and it was wonderful. Showy flowers and gorgeous leaves and then I went on vacation. Enjoy it while you can, you could bequeath it to a greenhouse. If you kill it you could remember the flower color and leaf pattern and buy a replacement so the children don't get upset. I've had so many plants and have so many, my children don't notice the comings and goings. Good luck.

Reply:Turn it upside down for a few days and it should perk up. A cyclamen is a succulent/it stores its own moisture and doesn't need much water. Pour out any excess water from the undertray after watering, which you should do for all plants. Good luck. Report It

How dangerous is Cyclamen to a cat?
My cat got at my mother's new houseplant, some cyclamen. I've told her again and again to keep the plants out of the reach of the cat if she HAS to have the stupid things, but she wouldn't listen to me. As a result, my cat got curious, chewed up a good part of it and vomited repeatedly all over our carpet. I only found out last night what kind of plant it was and that it was harmful to kitties.
After she vomited up what was still in her tummy from breakfast and lunch, she started vomiting some foamy peachy-colored glob with little red bits in it (I debated whether those bits were blood or flower petals). I shut her in the laundry for the night, checking on her occasionally. She was lying in her bed, pupils dilated and purred when I petted her. This morning when I had checked on her she had only vomited twice more. Her eyes were no longer dilated and she submitted to being picked up, and purred. I plan on taking her to the vet tomorrow, but is the danger over? Will she be okay? =/
How dangerous is Cyclamen to a cat?
Well first of all cyaclamen can be harmful to cats. It is a good sign that your cat vomited. Since she did vomitemost of the toxins from the plant have came up. She will live. And about the purring thing well Cats purr when they want to. They do often purr under stress (NOT FROM ILLNESS OR BECAUSE THEY ARE ANGRY) Purring under stress has more colorfully been described as the cat's mantra, a self-soothing, self-healing, relaxing, vibrating sound (sort of like the Ommmm one might hum while in the lotus position.) It is soothing for the animal. But other than since she did make it thought the night I would have to say your cat is out of the woods. It says that this plant can be harmful to cats, not fatal. Your cat will only do it once. And I'm sorry but no one can report you because of your concerns you did nothing wrong and this was not an act of Curelty. But call your vet and talk with him. Explain what happend and make sure he knows every thing. In the mean time watch you cat closely. Make sure she eat, drinks, and uses the potty like normal. If you see any changes in the cats behavior take the cat in to the vet a.s.a.p. I hope your cat gets feeling better.
Reply:Keep in mind that cat's don't only purr when they are happy. They often times purr when they are angry, hurt/sick, or very scared as well. A lot of people mistake a purring cat for a happy cat, and that is not always the case.
p.s. CJ, your list stopped at d, there's a large part of the alphabet missing.
Reply:You should call a vet on the phone and discuss this issue with a professonal, ASAP, if you have not done so already. They should be able to tell you better than anyone here what the real risk to your cat is, if it is OK to wait till tomorrow, or if you should go today.
I've linked a list of poisonous plants below, maybe you should share it with your mom. I have alot of houseplants and usually hang the ones I don't want my cats to get into, from a plant hanger hooked onto the ceiling. There is virtually no way cats can get to a hanging plant unless it is near a table or some other object they can climb on.
Also, check out the link for ASPCA animal poison control center. They have a 24 hour hotline you can call, and they should be able to give you some more specific info about that specific plant.

How do I look after Cyclamen plants? Mine always die while other house plants thrive.?
Cyclamens are like a cacti type of plant like me at first you probably killed it with kindness like over watering
They do not need to much watering at all
When they die down just pop them outside till they start to grow again, and leave it you may think its dead I assure you its not
How do I look after Cyclamen plants? Mine always die while other house plants thrive.?
Be sure to follow a regular watering schedule. It likes temperatures between 65 degrees and fifty degrees during the day. They really like cooler type temperatures. Always water directly on the soil avoid watering over leaves and stems.
Fertilize about once or twice per month.
Reply:Cyclamen have a "dead" period,then start to grow again. Don't throw them away too soon. Water from below so the top of the corm doesn't get wet and start to rot. Good light but not direct sun.
Reply:you are supposd to use tepid distilled water and only water them from the bottom my old mum always told me
hers were always lovely
Reply:As with first answer. We keep ours on the window sill and cut down on the watering when all flowers have dropped. If they are flowering now use a little plant food.
If the room is too hot they will not last.

Will repotting my cyclamen make it bloom more?
I haven't had many new blooms in the last few weeks and it usually blooms continuously. Anyone have any good info on these flowers?
Will repotting my cyclamen make it bloom more?
Cyclamens go dormant after a blooming period, yours may be headed that way as it is slowing down on blooming., Here is a good web site on care of a cyclamens as house plants:
http://www.thegardenhelper.com/cyclamen....
Reply:I am assuming your plant is indoors.
Have you been fertilizing your cyclamen?
Also, they like cool temps, (60 degrees day/50 degrees at night...not really practical during the winter if you are heating your home, I know-- just check your room temp.
If you don't have alot of humidity, place yor plant on a tray of pebbles and add water--not too much, as you don't want the roots at the bottom of the plant to touch the water and rot.
Cyclamen like an east-facing window, or a location where they receive sun, but not direct sunlight.
Cyclamen do tend to get smaller as they get older--you could re-pot your plant and give it a try. You can also divide the corm--cut it in half, dust w/ root powder, and place the 2 sections in 2 small pots. Good luck!

What do i put pot mixture do i use for cyclamen species?
Cyclamen enjoy semi shade,protected from frost and well drained soil as their roots rot easily.a good matured compost or leaf bark make excellent food.also refrain from disturbing their roots as this wiil reduce the number of blooms

http://gardening.about.com/od/houseplant...
Reply:They aren't really indoor plants... if you have it inside while it's flowering, best to keep it in a cool room and give it a freshen up in a protected place outside every few days. They like a bright well lit spot. If you have a tray or saucer under it, make sure when you water it, that it doesn't sit in water as the roots will rot. Drain it well before putting back. As the flowers finish, twist them off at the base of the plant... if you leave stems on it they can go mouldy and rot the plant.
Once it finishes flowering, best to put it outside in fresh air and it will go dormant during the hot weather... dies off to the bulb. Just keep it moist, not wet, until the new shoots begin to form. Then shake off all soil, and repot into fresh mix, and give a weak organic fertiliser like Seasol or fish emulsion. Should grow and flower bigger and better each year.
Make sure when it's repotted, that the bulb part (corm) is planted at the same level... on top of the mix.
Large corms can be cut in half and both halves can form seperate plants, but a risk of one or both halves rotting.
Hope this helps,
Cheers, Rob

Reply:They aren't really indoor plants... if you have it inside while it's flowering, best to keep it in a cool room and give it a freshen up in a protected place outside every few days. They like a bright well lit spot. If you have a tray or saucer under it, make sure when you water it, that it doesn't sit in water as the roots will rot. Drain it well before putting back. As the flowers finish, twist them off at the base of the plant... if you leave stems on it they can go mouldy and rot the plant.
Once it finishes flowering, best to put it outside in fresh air and it will go dormant during the hot weather... dies off to the bulb. Just keep it moist, not wet, until the new shoots begin to form. Then shake off all soil, and repot into fresh mix, and give a weak organic fertiliser like Seasol or fish emulsion. Should grow and flower bigger and better each year.
Make sure when it's repotted, that the bulb part (corm) is planted at the same level... on top of the mix.
Large corms can be cut in half and both halves can form seperate plants, but a risk of one or both halves rotting.
Hope this helps,
Cheers, Rob
New cat is chewing house plants, especially cyclamen, is it poisonous?
Just brought new 1-2yr old all black girl home from shelter. She is exploring the house. When she went into my living room she started chewing a green fern type house plant, and then tried to start chewing the cyclamen, she tried a couple of times, so i shooed her away. Need to know if that is going to do her any harm. If it is, i will boot the plant out right away!

Yes, cyclamen is poisonous to cats, and so are a lot of other plants.You should take the kitty to a vet just in case she consumed any leaves or whatnot.
The two links provided will give you a list of what plants are toxic to cats, and which plants are safe for them.
Reply:I would put it out to be on the safe side, I am not sure if it has any toxins in it. Grow some grass for you cat, or bring some grass from out side for your cat.
Reply:my cat does it to it helps them digest u can go to the store and buy special plants for them to eat so they don't eat yours!!
Reply:Go on the internet and type in Plants Poisoneous to cat and you will get a list of plants to keep away from your pet. This is serious as your pet could go into shock and die. I don't keep live plants in my apartment - my cat means too much to me to harm her in any way.
Reply:Cyclamen IS poisonous. Get your cat to a vet NOW!!!
Reply:keep plants AWAY from cats unless you know 100% they won't harm them.......I came home not long ago to find my cat gasping for breath on the kitchen floor, she was fitting, had vomited and soiled herself......(she'd been left 1/2 hour and was fine when i went out)....... i put her in her cat box and rushed her to the vet but she passed away before i got there (10 mins after i found her)........we knew it wassome sort of poisoning and she does not wander so it was something at home,,,,,,,then we noticed a plant called "lucky bamboo" was nibbled, done a google and found this pant (part of the lilly family) is toxic to cats..........
MANY common house and garden plants can kill a cat or make them very ill.....
I lost my beautiful cat cos of a bloody plant and that really hurts.

What should I do with my cyclamen plants now that the flowers are dying?
Please advice what I should do with my cyclamen bulbs
What should I do with my cyclamen plants now that the flowers are dying?
Well, you can always throw them out.
But if that's not an option... and they are in pots....
1. Fertilize monthly with a balanced fertilizer (20-20-20) at half strength until April. Cut down the flower stalks, but do not cut down the leaves until they all die down on their own.
2. During the summer months, cyclamen go into dormancy. You need to water very little (like once every 2 weeks or less) and do not fertilize. Put them where rain water will not fall on them at all.
3. new shoots should start appearing in the fall. You can repot at this time (if necessary) and start watering regularly and fertilize monthly again. They will bloom in later winter or early spring again.

When does cyclamen stop flowering?.And what do we do after they stop flowering with the bulbs?
I have 3 beautiful cyclamen plants which came with the pre stared bulbs . When does cyclamen stop flowering?.And what do we do after they stop flowering with the bulbs. How should i store them for next season
When does cyclamen stop flowering?.And what do we do after they stop flowering with the bulbs?
As the days get longer, late spring to early summer depending on where you live, the cyclamens will go into dormancy. They will stop flowering, and the leaves will dry up. I just keep mine in the pots, watering them only very occasionally, just enough to keep the tubers from shriveling up (maybe once a month or so.) Then keep the pots in a sheltered location, such as under a porch roof, and begin watering regularly when you see the new growth beginning in late fall or early winter. I have kept cyclamens going for more than 5 years in this way, repotting them in spring if the tubers are getting too large for the pot. I now have many new plants which started from the seeds. The seedlings grow pretty slowly, but it's very cool to increase my collection for free.

What does it mean when cyclamen leaves turn yellow?
My previously robust cyclamen's leaves have turned yellow and flowers have faded - is this a sign of overwatering or heat?
What does it mean when cyclamen leaves turn yellow?
Yellow leaves can be caused by too much warmth or not enough light. It can also happen when a plant is kept too wet.
