Cyclamens grow from tubers that are round and rather flat. The tubers
are the storage organs that keep the plants alive during their summer
dormancy.
Cyclamen are commonly grown for their flowers, both outdoors and indoors
in pots. Several species are hardy and can be grown outdoors in zones 5-8.
Apply winter cover in cold areas.
Cyclamen plants form colonies in shade under trees and shrubs, in
woodlands or gardens. It has heart-shaped foliage, mottled with dark and
silvery green. Plant the corms with the flat side facing down. Both roots and
leaves come from the top of corms.
After
you have just received a cyclamen, it's important to keep it cool and to water
it correctly, making sure not to under or overwater. To prevent disease
problems, it is also a good idea to maintain good air movement around the
plant.
