How to deal with cyclamen after flowering

1. Pruning

After the flowering period in May and before the summer dormancy period, cyclamen should be pruned. When pruning, first remove the flower branches from the roots, then cut off the withered and rotten leaves. At this time, water and fertilize normally to make full preparations for the next flowering.

2. Maintenance

As the temperature rises from June to July, the plants gradually enter a state of summer dormancy. At this time, place the flower pots together in a cool, ventilated place indoors, keep the temperature at around 15-20℃, and keep the bulbs hard. There is no need to apply fertilizer during the dormant period, wait until the next growth period to apply fertilizer. During this period, stop watering and fertilizing to allow the plants to naturally pass through the summer dormancy period.

Recovery

It will slowly wake up in September. At this time, you must ensure sufficient water to ensure that it can grow rapidly. At this time, you can start to apply appropriate fertilizers and choose compound organic fertilizers rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements to fertilize. Then wait for it to grow new leaves and buds.
