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.

Reply:Beautiful aren't they?Is it an indoor or hardy outdoor. If its indoor, keep it fairly cool, medium light and plenty of water. Remove the old blooms and leaves,%26gt; They are called "gift plants" meaning they are meant to throw out when they are finished blooming and leaves start to die off. However you can give them a rest and start them again and if your lucky they will bloom again. Outdoors light shade, planted not too deep , fairly moist.

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.)
