At home, with a few simple and easy tricks, we can give birth and raise our cyclamen in a healthy and strong way. Growing this plant in our apartment will be really very easy. To achieve this, however, the secret ingredient is always to have a lot of attention and, above all, a lot of love for plants.
History of cyclamen.
The cyclamen plant is mainly found in the Mediterranean region, so it is mainly concentrated in North Africa, West Asia, and Southern Europe. Its name is of Greek origin and derives from the word circle, a name probably attributed to this plant because of its round and tuberous roots.
Tips for the care of cyclamen.
As an autumn plant, the cyclamen has to live in low temperatures. Ideally, it should reach a temperature of between 10 and 15 degrees. Of course, taking care of this plant in your own home is not a problem, but, as I said, it should be stored in a suitable environment. To keep it healthy and strong, it is necessary to fertilize it 3 times a week with a fertilizer full of potassium and phosphorus. In addition, you should not overwater it or underwater. It is best to soak the plant in a container filled with water for 30 minutes or simply water the plant by pouring the water from top to bottom. The soil, on the other hand, should be amixture of soil and peat, and acidity is recommended. However, to prevent diseases, it is enough to pay attention to the color of the leaves. If spots appear or we see that the color of the leaves changes, it means that our plant needs care. However, to avoid mold, we can simply add more bark to the soil and keep an eye out for waterlogging. At this point, I would say that we all have useful ideas to test ourselves and take care of our cyclamen. Good luck with your work.
