Thanks for your tips Maggie. Yes, these indoor cyclamen varieties hate wet compost, so be careful to avoid over watering. Keeping them on the dry side is best. Their tubers will probably be killed by cold and wet winter weather, so you'll need to either bring cyclamen under cover or onto a windowsill, or dig up tubers and store in a frost-free place. Plant again from spring to early summer to bring dormant tubers back into growth.
Re: cyclamen Indoors; Regarding the above issue, would like to say that these plants I bought as suitable for the garden. From the time they went into the ground they never started to grow. Now moved indoors to a house I am still waiting a result. Could it be that they were dead when purchased or maybe need some special type of environment or is it just me. Would be pleased of any comments.
Can anyone tell me what to do with my Canna's that I haved in pots now? Their leaves have noe started to blacken, and I know I should move them into the greenhouse, but should I cut the leaves back, if so how far. Any other tips? Thanks
My cyclamen are waterlogged in their pots. I plunged them in the sink and drained them on the draining board, but they still exuded water when the plastic pot was squeezed 24 hrs later.I've tipped them out and laid them on the patio. The leaves are only partially yellow and some flowers and buds are strong. I've left them out of their pots , in theopoen air overnight. The soil is sodden - what can I do next to save them?
