The only cyclamen I ever bought because they never live very long for me. This one died off after a week.

Retired and Enjoying Every Minute of It
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.

I think I did poorly with cyclamen too. I’m not sure I remember why, but I think i didn’t have enough sunshine.

Mine had enough sunshine, perhaps I gave them too much water

I never did well with them but when I’ve seen others who have they were in cooler positions like windows.

I had one for two seasons. I was amazed as I am no gardener. I got it in May and it flowered till November. I thought I’d try and keep it so I read up on what to do and when the leaves died back put it in a cupboard for two or three months brought it out and it was starting to sprout new leaves so I put it back by the window and it flowered a second winter. Sadly it didn’t survive the next summer in the cupboard and I had to get another one. This one has not been so good. Leaves dying and not as many flowers. They really don’t like a lot of water but I am not sure where I am going wrong with this one.

I have never been lucky with them. I think I kept the bulb of this one. Perhaps I might put it in the garden and see if anything might happen. It seems they don’t like too much water.

They don’t I only water mine sparsely a couple of times a week at most. The gardening sites I looked at said that a cyclamen from a nursery would do well outside in the right position but that the ones you get from supermarkets etc would not and suggested the dark cupboard for the off season. They seem to look down on these “florist’s cyclamen” a bit but I would say stick it in the garden what do you have to lose?

Just a week?! The cyclamen that was in my planter box when I got it years ago is still there, although it has died back by now.

I did not think of what a cyclamen would do for the winter there. Winter is their active growing season here They regenerate in autumn, bloom through winter, and defoliate as the weather warms up n summer. I doubt they would like winter there.
