Frequently Asked Questions
How long do Cyclamen blooms last and how do you get them to rebloom?
Cyclamen flowers can last for up to 6 weeks, with a healthy plant continuously producing new blossoms for several months throughout the winter. Once the blooming cycle ends in the spring, you can allow the plant to enter its natural summer dormancy by withholding water and letting the leaves yellow and wither away. To trigger fresh blooms for the following winter, simply resume watering and move the pot back into a cool, brightly lit room once you spot new green shoots emerging in the autumn.

Why is my Cyclamen turning yellow and losing its leaves?
Yellowing leaves are typically a sign of overwatering, high temperatures, or the plant entering its natural summer dormancy phase. If it happens in late spring, the plant is likely not dying, but simply preparing to shed its foliage and rest for the hot summer months. You can easily manage this by reducing water significantly and placing the dormant tuber in a cool, dark location until fresh growth emerges in autumn.
