A friend just gave me a cyclamen a few weeks ago and I silently said to myself, "oh no, another cyclamen to kill". You have given me hope for this one! :)

[@kanthvickram4490]

Mary, i was like you !!! now i learnt my lessions, that is, to follow the rules....when to water, when to fertilize, when to give light and when to give heat; by doing these things, i have really managed to keep them alive .

[@msandreapalacio]

If you live in zone 10 plant them outside in shade and forget about them, they spread and I love picking them in grocery stores, nurseries etc they bloom fall, spring and summer .

[@foggybottomz]

Yay! Thank you for this video! Yours are so pretty!!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

I really love the look of these- the leaves are stunning 🤩 💐

[@pattylaurel2421]

Such great information and mystery solving video on these beautiful plants! Thank you, Yuliya!

[@Torokanna1]

Wow, your flowers look amazing!😍

[@paccellipereira6558]

Thank you. Your instructions will definitely help.

[@wandagarrett942]

I’m fortunate to live in a Mediterranean climate; they grow and spread wonderfully outside.....and seem to thrive with neglect 😉

[@donnasantamaria8317]

Wanda, what garden zone do you live in and what variety did you plant that is spreading outside?

[@msandreapalacio]

Yes neglect has been my trick too in zone 10b ❤

[@Peterrdee]

Most plants that are hardy to your zone will just thrive with nothing it’s beautiful to see 😂

I have some that are 5 years old. I thought they were dead until they popped up new shoots.

[@katiekane5247]

Dormant hardy cyclamen looks like a pile of springs. Where they're happy, they're super easy & offer cool weather interest with marbled leaves & flowers at an unexpected time. I have too much clay at the new house to plant them yet, maybe in a few years.

[@shannonbutterfly24]

This was great, thank you so much!!

[@ituzem8223]

Thank you, Yulia! I feel that I need a cyclamen in my life) My mom had one last year, but it went dormant and she decided that it died and threw it away.

[@danihu03]

I bought 5 last year because of your video. I planted them around a little lemon cypress in a pot outside. They bloomed and bloomed and were so happy! They were in a semi shaded area. They were exposed to quite a few frosts and just kept trucking on. So gorgeous! I did try to keep them and thought they died. But now I’m wondering if I tossed them for no reason. It was worth the months of blooming I got out of them.

[@lanaduvall3698]

Thank you!!!

[@denisedelgado3350]

Hi Yuliya ~ I had no idea they were a Mediterranean plant! I see them planted in mass under trees in England. When I think of humidity, I think of hot and humid, not cool. Different and definitely beautiful 🤩 My home on the other hand is super dry so I will be admiring these from afar.

[@greatgardensforall]

Oh wow! that must look amazing

[@ourolivefarmlifeinruralita9494]

I'm in the Mediterranean and these are very popular here. I throw them away every spring. Ihad no idea i can keep them to bloom again in the fall. The wild ones are gorgeous blooming every fall under the olive trees. Thanks for sharing your advice. Nice video💯👍

[@deniseb2571]

I always feel bad when I buy one of these but I'll give it another try. Thanks 🌱

[@dawndawn6946]

OMG! I decided to try cyclamen again a month ago. I’m in zone 8. The thing is barely hanging on. I put it on my north facing porch. It’s alive anyway, but half brown. Thanks for all this great information!

[@TropicalGardening]

Great video! I love them as a garden plant. I've also got Cyclamen hederifolium & coum in the garden. Especially the hederifolium do very well, I've got seedlings everywere.

[@greatgardensforall]

I can't wait to plant mine!

[@anitahadley2871]

So beautiful! They certainly last a lot longer than buying cut flowers. I may give them another try!

[@greatgardensforall]

Exactly!

[@dianem7771]

Thank you for this video. My garden is full of cyclamens. I absolutely adore them. I'm not sure I can keep them alive during summer. It gets up to 116 degrees in Los Angeles...

[@travellife08]

I have a miniature cyclamen with magenta blooms that is many years old. I keep it in my kitchen window and basically have been doing the same things you suggest in the video. It's one of my favorite plants. During the summer when it isn't blooming the leaves are still quite pretty, green with white veining.

[@kanthvickram4490]

so, is it better outside or inside during dormancy period ?

[@travellife08]

@@kanthvickram4490 I've never had this plant outdoors, only indoors on counter tile in my kitchen window area. It sits back about a foot from 2 corner windows so when the sun's out it gets plenty of sunshine in the winter. It also receives a lot of humidity from my kitchen sink which it sits directly behind. I just picked up another one from Lowe's with larger white flowers, it's doing really well too. I'm in Zone 9.

[@AlexiHolford]

@@travellife08wow. I am in zone 9 as well! I was thinking a cyclamen would just not work here.

great very beautiful.

[@marthagreene8670]

I have watched this video twice now so I will try again with the cyclamen. It was very helpful and taught me many things I did not know. What kind of soil mix?

[@bernadette1510]

Great info! I killed many cyclamens over the years. I love them but can not keep them alive. Hopefully, with you advise, there may be hope for any future cyclamens.

[@elvisburgerking8675]

I have a very different routine for growing them, and cyclamen probably account for 25% of all the plants I cultivate. been growing them for at least 10 years now and only lost 4 out of about 50 mature plants. all 4 lost were lost within the first year due to tuber rot and were probably already damaged and on their way out when I bought them. so second year of buying i prodded my finger into each pot before buying a plant to check there was a reasonable size and hard tuber in the pot somewhere. The rest are all doing very well, some started of as 1cm ultra cheap baby specimens, and now have like 5cm diameter tubers, others now have even bigger upto 10cm diameter ( that's 30cm circumference ) tubers, I have a considerable variety of species and all the colour spectrum I could possibly get my hands on. they flower for over 6 months of the year ( slightly staggered between species ) , and I often pollinate them with an air puffer, so they produce pods, which are interesting to look at for 4 more months of the year., leaving just 2 months of leaf only, i never let them go dormant. mine remain very lush and green all year round, most leaves lasting more than 1 year and get quite big, I never let them go dormant, and I get a great deal of continuous blooms each year, like a carpet of flowers above the greenery. I plant them with the top 1/5 ( 20% ) of the bulb above the soil or compost and i always top water, quite generously. when you buy them the bulb is always buried, i wait till Spring then replant in bigger pot with bulb partially protruding and water daily so it grows more roots and more leaves. i don't pull any wilting leaves or flowers until they have almost completely dried up, as pulling still green ones is a bit tough and damages other healthy leaves and flowers. If you don't pollinate and plants are indoors away from insects, the flowers last much longer, once pollinated the flower withers , drops off and pod starts to form. unpollinated flowers wither including stem reasonably quickly. 50 mature plants is enough for me, but yet again this year i'm experimenting growing over10 different varieties from seed, and have around 50 saplings growing quite healthily for the past 4 months on an east facing bathroom window, i'm giving them plenty of light and moist compost, germination success of the tiny seeds was very high, a surprising average 80% germinated , nearer 95% for the hardy reds, and down to about 25% for the rarer varieties. I have no idea what to do with my 50 new saplings, as i usually only experimented with planting dozen seeds/pods. This year I planted the seeds at end of July, about 1 month after seed pods dried up and were opening up, i removed the seeds from pods, let them fully dry for a couple of weeks and then planted them 5 at a time in to tiny pots, only 5mm below surface, at end of July. I keep the compost wet by misting over it daily. a propagator would probably work even better. in previous years I thought the pods were the seeds, so planted whole pods that were not even fully matured, but some saplings still sprouted. i don't presoak the seeds, but that might be advisable as you sometimes get a sprout with a hard seed pod stuck on its top preventing leaf from being able to get out, trying to remove this husk is very tricky and will end with you snapping top of sapling off, nevertheless it will still recover and produce a second leaf as its already formed a tiny 2-3mm baby tuber in the ground when the root grows first. I find no problems with overwatering, so long as you don't pour water on to the top of the bulb, I even use moisture retaining compost sometimes, but rough garden soil works just as well, easily done as my bulbs protrude above the soil, ( that way I can see how big they are getting too ), underwatering will cause leaves to droop, wither and fall off, so I water all year round, usually daily for 6 months and gradually less in autumn and winter. temperature wise, they are also not too fussy, most of the time they are kept between 10 and 20 deg C, but in mid winter temperature can drop down to 0 deg C, and in summer upto 25 deg C, if temperature looks to be going to get over that, for those very few English weeks or days, I do move them to somewhere cooler and more shady. my only regular problem is slugs and snails, if I notice a healthy leaf mysteriously wither, i look for tell tale sign that a slimy creature has come along and chewed a chunk out of the bottom of the stem, I am then on a mission to find the culprit as soon as possible, as the little slimesters will keep chewing at leaves every night, and hiding by day, until you find them. The tubers get bigger each year, the leaves get bigger each year, the flowers get taller and bigger each year, and the seed pods get bigger each year. I'm growing some monster Cyclamen now compared to how tey were wen I bought them, and i've been informed a single bulb/tuber can live for 100 years. I've never researched how others grow their Cyclamen, just worked it out by trial and error over 10 years, I have 1 hardback book on them ( by Richard Maatsch 1971 ), looks to be very detailed and informative , but it's in German so I can't read it, but it does contain many black and white photos, so I can identify plants and search out new species varieties from it.

[@sibylc2908]

I have a potted cyclamen that’s been outside all winter (SC zone 8) and is doing really well. This video is perfect, since I’ve been worrying about what to do with it this summer. I have quite a bit of shade in my yard, so I should be able to find a protected spot to put it during its dormancy. Fingers crossed!

[@greatgardensforall]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kanthvickram4490]

shade means...is it shade from sunlight or shade from rain and water in the summer ?

[@HemangiSavaliya]

If we live in a dry and hot climate like Austin in the summer, should we water them some in summer when they are dormant? I know your area gets a lot of rain.

[@donnasantamaria8317]

I too, have a love affair with cyclamen. I ordered some hardy cyclamen that blooms in the fall. I think it was hederfolium. Do you plant them ni the ground in spring and let them go dormant for the summer? I thought about planting them in a container and bringing them in for the summer when it gets hot. What are your plans for planting and where did you purchase your Hardy cyclamen? Great video! Thank you

[@dianamccarthy5586]

I love your videos, thank you for giving me the knowledge to keep my plants alive. I was wonder, when you say your cyclamen are in the garden in the shade and you don't water them during the summer are they getting rain water or are they somewhere protected and completely dry?

I purchased 2 of them this year from a grocery store in the spring. They were already in bloom so, I placed them on my patio an they lived there all summer with a about 2 hours of southern exposure but, mostly western exposure. They continued to bloom an are still blooming an it's August now here in Ohio. I don't know what to do now that I've seen your video. I was going to bring them indoors an let them go dormant for the winter since they are in planters an I thought they just always bloomed in the summer not the winter time. Now I'm confused as to what to do.. please help!!! They are such beautiful plants an I would love it if I could keep them alive an watch them bloom again. What should I do???

[@daiseegray9110]

[@greatgardensforall]

[@lilchanchos]

My cyclamen corms are always under the soil. Yours look like they are partially ABOVE the soil. Which is best for growth and to prevent rot?

[@carolfisch9750]

I have two different varieties that have lived and rebloomed for years inside my apt. But all of a sudden this winter in one week, the leaves of both got hard, curled dramatically downward and even the buds got hard and did not bloom. No idea what happened. Too cold by the usual window? Always kept in same window...hmm. I just repotted the smaller one to see if that will help. Course it’s dormancy time so not sure I will know till fall. In the past I just let them stay in same place and get pitiful looking. Should I move them to under my desk so less light and stop watering? Or do you think they got a disease or something?

[@laurenwellman2516]

Gorgeous 😍! Do you transplant them into larger pots at any certain point? For example if I get one at a florist, should I bump it up to a bigger pot after it blooms or just leave it alone?

[@greatgardensforall]

Yes I have. Like the white ones I combined in one large planter, they didn't mind it at all

[@alisontoney3792]

This video came just when I needed it. When the cyclamen begin to die back and go into dormancy, do you cut back the dead foliage? What should they look like when they are dormant?

[@greatgardensforall]

Some lose all foliage, some just the flowers.
