The most beautiful indoor flower cyclamen is quite capricious and whimsical in terms of care. Incorrect actions can lead to the fact that the plant simply does not bloom in due time.
Unsuitable pot
In a pot that is too narrow, cyclamen slows down its growth and development. Therefore, it is unlikely to bloom in such a pot. For cyclamens up to 1.5 years old, you need a pot with a diameter of at least 9-10 cm. And for adult flowers after 2, 5-3 years, you need a larger container - about 15 cm.
you need to choose a pot for cyclamen in such a way that there is at least 2 cm between its walls and the planted bulb.
Lack of nutrients
For cyclamen, feeding is simply necessary before flowering and throughout its entire length. Without adding the necessary substances, cyclamen will not delight you with its beautiful flowers. Before the formation of buds, a mineral complex is introduced into the soil, and after they bloom, potassium and phosphorus are added.
High soil acidity
For indoor cyclamen, it is necessary to provide soil with a neutral or slightly acidic reaction. Soil with high acidity is detrimental to this plant. There are special test strips for determining the acidity of the soil.
High air temperature
At high ambient temperatures (above 20 degrees) and dry air, cyclamen will not bloom. Under inappropriate conditions, he will throw off his leaves and go into a state of rest. Therefore, you need to provide the flower with the necessary coolness and sufficient moisture.
Insufficient or excessive watering
Before and during flowering, the frequency and abundance of watering is increased. However, it is worth watering the cyclamen only in the pan, so as not to overdo it. With excessive watering, the flower bulb will simply rot.
