Hello, I would like to know how to take care of a Cyclamen. Thank you. |

Bright light but no sun and keep the soil damp. It could go dormant for a short time next summer if it gets too warm. Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost President: Orchid Society of Northern Nevada Webmaster: osnnv.org |

Depends on which species of cyclamen. Some like C. purpurascens, C. hederifolium, C. coum, and C. cilicium are hardy well below freezing and could easily grow outside all year in (dry) shade. Others like C. persicum are tender and need to be kept frost free in winter. |

Most likely, unless a special order, its Cyclamen persicum.
