Family maintenance methods of cyclamen

People often like to put a basin of cyclamen in the living room, which has the beautiful meaning of cyclamen. Cyclamen family maintenance should pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Matrix: cyclamen is afraid of waterlogging, and the substrate needs slightly acidic soil with loose air permeability and good drainage. Peat and perlite are used as the mixed substrate for cultivation. It can also be cultivated with rotten leaf soil and slag ash. When the substrate is cultivated, it is necessary to do a good job of disinfection and sterilization to prevent quenching, root rot and so on.

2, temperature: cyclamen likes a warm environment, can not bear high temperature and cold, the highest temperature should not exceed 30 degrees Celsius, otherwise it will enter a dormant state, the high temperature of about 35 degrees Celsius is perishable. It is best to keep it between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius in winter. When it is below 5 degrees Celsius, growth is inhibited, leaves curl, flowers bloom poorly, and the color is dim. In summer, it should be placed in a moist and ventilated place, and the basin soil should be kept in a dry state to make it fully dormant over the summer.

3. Humidity: cyclamen likes a humid environment and is not resistant to dryness. It needs to be kept between 60-70% humidity during the growth period, which can make the leaves dark green and glossy. In winter, it can not be placed in the position where heating and air conditioning can be contacted directly to prevent wilting and withering due to air drying. Avoid flowers when spraying water to prevent flowers from withering ahead of time. The water temperature should be close to room temperature.

4. Illumination: cyclamen needs sufficient light in the growing period in order to blossom for a long time and its color is bright. Placed in the semi-shade can only be enjoyed for a short time, but also to avoid the shady environment, otherwise the leaf color and flower color will fade, the plant will be weak, and in serious cases, it will be difficult to recover until it decays and dries up.

5. Watering: cyclamen likes to avoid dampness. The basin soil needs to be kept moist, but it is necessary to strictly prevent stagnant water or waterlogging, otherwise the root system will rot and the whole plant will die quickly. Because the whole plant of cyclamen is fleshy, so cyclamen is not tolerant to drought. If the water supply is not timely, the leaves will soon turn yellow and wilt. Even after supplementary watering, many leaves will turn yellow and need pruning, seriously affecting the beauty and growth of the whole plant.
