Cyclamen Die Down

ommthreeommthree Posts: 314

Hi all,

I have some cyclamen coum and some hederefolium. They're in separate pots now, since the forum advised me that they needed different degrees of shade. Now the leaves are dying down. I guess that's expected at this time of year?

How should I treat them now? I know they shouldn't be too damp, but should I let them dry out completely? Should they be fed at all in this state? Or are they actually dying, as it seems a bit early for them to go dormant?

Thank you!

    Mine are dying back now as well. That's Ok. Probably too late to feed, they'll be dormant any time now.

    Thnks nutcutlet, and how dry do you let them get over the summer?

    Mine are in the ground ommthree, they get watered when it rains. They survive very dry seasons with no problem.
