Yellow Leaves?

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


What can I do for this plant?


How do I care for a cyclamen?





Thanks SO Much for you help!

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

Reply:To much water can cause this.





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





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


Hope it works.
