Moderately moist soil is preferred. Water thoroughly when soil surface feels dry to the touch, and be sure not to let the plant stand in water.

Cyclamen prefer moderate temperatures, 65-70F (18-21C)during the daytime, and 50-60F (15-18C) at night. Keep out of excessively hot or cold areas.

Fertilize periodically, according to manufacturer's directions.

Bright light will help buds to develop and open. Make sure to place in a cool area at night, in order to extend the flowering period.
