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
