The newly bought plant usually grows better, but after a week of keeping it, we may find that it has a lot of yellow leaves and lodging, and then we need to replenish it with water. this phenomenon will change obviously after being watered.

2. Lighting

Because it is more fond of light, so we have to put it in a sunny place after we buy it back, so that it can grow well. However, we should pay attention to the fact that the light is not particularly strong at the beginning, because it cannot be adapted in this way. We should first put it in a place where the light is better but not strong, and then slowly move to a place where the light is strong and not direct.

3. Temperature

The temperature it needs is not particularly high, so it is better to give it a degree of about 20 degrees. Especially just bought, it will take some time to adapt to the environment, so we have to satisfy its preferences to the maximum extent.

4. Fertilizer

We still have to apply fertilizer to it, because it is more fond of fertilizer, but we should be careful that we can not give it too much fertilizer, so that it will grow better.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of cyclamen

I. Culture methods

1. Soil

The cultivation soil can be prepared with humus soil, forest rotten leaf soil, furnace ash, etc., and added appropriate amount of calcium carbonate and other chemicals. This kind of soil is relatively loose, which is helpful to the growth of cyclamen. During cultivation, we should pay attention to the size of the container, gradually increase and can not use large pots to cultivate small seedlings.

2. Fertilization

Cyclamen like fertile soil, but do not like thick fertilizer, turn over the basin need to apply some basic fertilizer, generally 1-2 weeks can be fertilized once, pay attention to thin fertilizer diligently. After several months of vegetative growth, organic fertilizer is applied, flowers are watered with water, and fertilization should be stopped when the temperature can not be controlled in summer.

3. Watering

Although cyclamen is drought-resistant, it is best to keep the soil moist during its growing season and pay attention to the fact that there is no stagnant water in the basin. Water frequently but less, don't get too wet. If the summer is not dormant, normal watering can be carried out, and the basin soil needs to be kept sweet and moist. After the Beginning of Autumn, he will enter the reproductive growth period. at this time, it is necessary to apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to control the growth of nutrition, promote the differentiation of flower buds and blossom.

4. Temperature

The growth temperature of cyclamen is suitable at 10-22 ℃, and the temperature during the day and night should be kept at 8-10 ℃. Flowers can also bloom if the night temperature is controlled at about 7-8 ℃, but the florescence will be delayed slightly; if it is lower than 6 ℃, it will not blossom normally.

II. Points for attention

When the summer temperature exceeds 28 ℃, cyclamen seeds will begin to dormancy, the dormancy period is not well managed, and the bulbs are easy to dry or rot, so it is difficult for cyclamen cultivation to spend the summer safely.

Therefore, it is best to create a good living environment for it. In general, temperatures above 30 ℃ and light above 40, 000 LUX can cause damage to cyclamen.

2. Proper shading

For shading, you only need to pull up two layers of sunshade net to meet the requirements, but when the light is not strong, it must be opened in time, which is conducive to ground cooling and ventilation. Shading should not be too overcast, otherwise cyclamen is easy to grow in vain and the resistance is weakened.

3. Spray cooling
