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:My Dad has been working with plants for many years, and I know for a fact that cyclamens are definitely not poisonus.
