What are cyclamen good for? Care for these plants.

Cyclamen is so beautiful that it is very desirable to see it in your house, trying to collect as many of these plants with bright and colorful flowers. However, very often, hitting the home conditions, cyclamen begins to "behave" unpredictably, namely: withers and loses its beauty. I must say that this is the first sign that the plant was organized by improper care.

Buying cyclamens, caring for which is not so much complicated as it requires painstakingness, special attention should be paid to its leaves and to the tuber. However, it is necessary still much to break a head above what color of flowers to choose? Needless to say that the leaves of the plant should be without visible damage, and the tuber - must be healthy and not have the slightest signs of rot. Buying a flower cyclamen, care for which will be carried out at home, is best in the fall, when this plant is just beginning to bloom.

In principle, the flower cyclamen can be grown from seeds independently. True, there is no guarantee that the plant will indeed be healthy. Therefore, it is recommended to just buy ready-made cyclamens in stores, bring them home, and at home and provide them with the proper care.

How to care for a flower cyclamen ? I must say that for this plant, proper care is very important, as well as strict adherence to the optimum temperature for its growth, which should not be higher than +20 degrees, and a sufficient amount of light. Nevertheless, we must try to grow cyclamen in such a place that it does not get sun rays. Otherwise, the leaves can get severe burns.

In some cases cyclamen, the care and development of which depends entirely on ourselves, can not be grown in places where plants will not be provided with the optimum temperature. In this case, they usually do this: they simply sprinkle the sprayer on the plant with warm, but pre-settled water. But at the same time, care must be taken to prevent water droplets from falling on flowers and stems.

However, do not forget to water the cyclamens properly. Care for these plants is not only a sufficient amount of lighting, but also in regular watering. However, with abundant watering, water should be carefully poured only in the pan, or closer to the edge of the pot, trying not to allow water to enter the plant itself. However, irrigation watering, but excessive effort in this case, too, will be harmful to the plant, and it will simply rot.

If cyclamen in the beginning of spring will be covered with yellow leaves, then one should not be frightened about this. Yellowness on the leaves means that the cyclamen begins to "fall asleep." Approximately at the same time, the tubers of the plant may be denuded. Sometimes it even begins to seem, then they died. However, it is not. This is not the death of the roots, but something like anabiosis. When a new cycle begins in the development of the cyclamen, the roots will again come to life.

In this case, what does cyclamen require in this state? Care and again care. However, to care at this time for the plants should not be so carefully. It is advisable simply to ensure that the soil in which cyclamens are grown is not dried up. In addition, it will be much better if the pot with a plant is simply put in a low-lighted place.

The plant usually "sleeps" for 2-3 months. Such a long period may not suit some growers. However, there is nothing to be done. But when new leaves become noticeable on it, this will mean that the flower has awakened from sleep and it is recommended to transplant it into a new soil, which must be prepared from equal parts of sand, peat and humus. After transplantation cyclamen can be put on his usual place and continue to look after him as usual.
