Cyclamen is a fairly popular ornamental plant, distinguished by its beauty and capricious character. It blooms in winter, from about the end of October until the onset of spring. But achieving cyclamen flowering is not so easy, you need to provide the plant with decent care so that it feels comfortable. Hotels in Vienna near the Johann Strauss House Museum are places where cyclamen blooms in abundance and pleases vacationers with a variety of shades.

Watering cyclamen should be moderately plentiful. During the flowering period, water frequently, every 2 days (as the earth dries out).

Do not water cyclamen directly into the pot, pour water into the pan. When cyclamen stops blooming and the dormant stage sets in, it should be watered a little less often. Do not let water get on the leaves, the plant does not like this (as well as spraying).

Proper watering and good lighting are the main criteria for cyclamen to bloom. He feels good in cool rooms with moderately humid air and no drafts. Hotels in Vienna near Judenplatz are also places where flower growers painstakingly work to ensure that this wonderful flower delights vacationers with its impeccable beauty. Cyclamen needs bright light, so you need to put it near the window, and not deep into the room. But, in no case do not put the plant in the sun! Cyclamen leaves are very sensitive to the sun’s rays, so burns can form on them, and the plant will get sick. If you notice that the cyclamen leaves are shedding, or they have begun to turn yellow, this means that he does not like the climate, and you should move him to a cooler and more humid place.

When the plant has faded, you can carefully tear off the dried leaves and flowers. Cyclamen will begin the dormant stage, and it will accumulate nutrients until winter. During dormancy, the plant cannot be fertilized; top dressing should be carried out in winter, when flowers have blossomed on cyclamen. A good option would be liquid fertilizers, they can be used up to 2 times a month.

Transplanting is necessary once a year, preferably in the middle or late summer, when the plant begins to produce new leaves and prepare for the flowering period. Cyclamen does not tolerate cramped pots, and therefore if you see that the roots have completely sprouted through the entire earthen ball, then transplant the plant into a larger pot. Put drainage on the bottom of the pot to protect the roots from possible rotting in case of excess moisture. It is better to purchase a special soil for cyclamen, in which the substances necessary for the plant are met in the right proportions. Water the plant after transplanting. The next watering is desirable to be done in a few days, when the earthen ball dries out.
