Although the internet says leaves curling under = broad mites, in my experience cyclamen leaves can curl like that if the plant is not happy for other reasons as well...


Oh that is good to know! I think I'll try just re-potting it and giving it a bit of fertilizer now and then and see how it does. I had one that inadvertently got over-soaked (standing water for a few of days!) and I literally had to wring it out, stuffed it into a pot of dry soil, and it recovered nicely. Which surprised the heck out of me! Hilarious!
