Care Cyclamen hederifolium
These plants have trunks or roots which store nourishment, originating bulbs or tubers. These plants grow covering the whole land at their disposal. The Cyclamen hederifolium is small in size and 10 cm in height; in the autumn it assumes a pink colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year.

Temperatures Cyclamen hederifoliumPosizione mezza ombra
We suggest locating this plant in a partially shady place, where it is exposed to direct sunlight during the coolest hours of the day. The Cyclamen hederifolium can bear minimum temperatures a few degrees below zero; in general during the Spring it would be grown outdoors without any problems, but if the harsh temperatures should go down it is advised to cover it with non-woven fabric.Let's position the plants where they can enjoy a good source of light,yet avoiding direct sunshine, which could cause antiaesthetic burnings on the foliage.

Irrigation Cyclamen hederifoliumTenere asciutto
Watering takes place only when the soil has been dry for days, usually every 1-2 weeks can be enough; if the climate is particularly hot we can slightly intensify the irrigations, using 2-3 glasses of water . Let's remember to empty the plant saucers after watering, to avoid that stagnant water could damage the roots.

Adversity Cyclamen hederifolium
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Substrate Cyclamen hederifolium
Let’s grow these apartment plants in a very well drained soil.
