Yellow Leaves?

I just bought a cyclamen plant (I'm pretty sure that is what it is), and of course I repotted it into a bigger pot (the store pots are too small). I bought other plants, and repotted them too, so I don't think the soil is the cause (but I'm no plant expert). Now, the leaf edges are turning yellow, and some leaves are brown & dead. I put the plant directly into the sunlight, then took it out as I noticed more yellowing after I did this.What can I do for this plant?How do I care for a cyclamen?Thanks SO Much for you help!

Answer: 1.
Cyclamens are sensitive to too much water, they will turn yellow and wilt if they are kept too wet. Also the same is true if they are too dry, but usually the yellowing is a result of too much moisture. The need indirect light, not sun as they are a shade plant. They do go dormant in the summer, but they are one of the easiest plants to care for. Here's more info:

Answer: 2.
To much water can cause this.

Lots of people will go a month or so without watering. Then, all at once they drown their plants.

Give just enough water to dampen the soil, about once a week. Be regular about it.
Answer: 3.
I think you are over watering it and you should not give it a lot of sunlight especially from 11am-1am.
Hope it works.
Answer: 4.
Did you feed it? Or get potting soil with food added? You not supposed to feed a newly transplanted plant. It could cause leaf burn.Also to much water does it. Maybe you packed the soil to tight around the roots.Sounds like to much water to me. Byee

Which of these bulbs should be discarded after blooming once?

I have following bulbs and corms. So Which of these should be discarded after blooming once?Tulip, Hyacinth, Paperwhite, Narcissus, Tuberose, Gladiolus, Cyclamen,Lilly,Iris.

Answer: 1.
They could all flower again as has been stated. To do this often requires more effort than is really viable. We are often seeking to reproduce the near perfect blooms that have nee created by growers in computer controlled artificial environments.

However, Paperwhites, (type of Narcissus), and Hyacinth are often 'pre-treated' to enourage or synchronise blooming. Hyacinth blooms in particular are not as good after the first flowering. Tulips can quite soon develop virus problems and many buy fresh each year. Iris, (presume you mean the Dutch Iris), are similar to those first described in that they are bred and fed to be gorgeous the first year but they then pale over successive years.

Of the others, with care and feeding they will come again. Try to see exactly what species or variety of bulb you have and read up about the conditions it needs to thrive. If you have these then half the work will be done for you as the bulbs will be happy. Don't waste your time with those that will be too much effort as you may fail and then be frustrated at the lack of success.

Bear in mind that I am in Scotland and your conditions will be very different to mine. Cheers
Answer: 2.
None, with proper care, they will all bloom again.
Answer: 3.
None, the beauty of all of them is that they will bloom and return year after year (within reason, not forever) if planted properly
Answer: 4.
I wouldn't discard any of them. Plant them out.

cyclamen and roses indoor?

I've just bought a potted cyclamen and a potted small rose bush. I've put them on my window sill but im not very experienced in the gardening area. Does anyone have any helpful tips of the best way I can look after them? Iv been watering them both by pouring the water into the trays instead of via the top of the soil. and iv been removing any dead leaves etc. but because they are inside to i need to anything else in particular? is there a need for fertiliser? and does anyone know how big i can expect them to grow? thanks very much x

Answer: 1.
The cyclamen will continue to flower for a short while and then the flowers will fade and you then stop watering to let the plant dry out. when it has dried to the point where the leaves are brown (this is part of its normal cycle) you can put it outside in a sunny place. next August or September put it into fresh potting compost, plant it very shallowly, as it is now then water it and bring it indoors again. If you are lucky it will start to throw leaves and start flowering again.
The miniature rose is not so easy. These are really bred for short term decoration and should be regarded as disposable. If you want to try and keep it for longer than a few months then get some fertilizer for pot plants, Miracle-Gro is good, keep the plant in a bright but not sunny position. Water when the surface has dried out. It is better not to leave it in a tray of water. Mix the fertilizer to indoor-plant strength (instructions on the bottle or box) and feed it about once a fortnight during spring and summer but just water it in autumn and winter. It will be tricky to keep it going in the long term indoors, you can plant it outside in a pot or the ground and it might survive longer. good luck.

My cyclamen has yellow leaves. Too much or not enough water?

**ANYBODY know what is wrong with my CYCLAMEN?

Last weekend, I bought 2 beautiful cyclamen in our local Farmer's Market. They looked healthy and bushy green; one had several white blossoms and the other had 2 red blossoms.They had been thoroughly watered and were, in fact, dripping wet when the salesgirl wrapped them up for me. I put them on saucers on my new "plant rack" in my living room, which receives about 5 hours of afternoon sunlight. A few days later I noticed that they were drooping and as of today, most of the leaves are yellow, most of the stems are limp and only one or two of the stems have remained upright. The flowers have not opened and the remaining stalks with buds look almost dead. I feel as though I've murdered my two plants!! :(Can someone who is wise in the way of CYCLAMEN please tell me how to take care of them in the future? I'd like to buy more because I like them but I need some horticultural advice here before I buy more. I appreciate your help.Thanks very much!!

Answer: 1.
I grew cyclamen for commercial sale and at home
top reason they die prematurely is watering from the top
sounds like what happened

they like it cool-mine is in a east window between the curtains and window.
If the night temperature is cooler, better bud development.
When the soil surface is dry water from below by setting in a bowl of water a couple of inches deep.
You can actually wait to water til the plant begins to droop a little.
don't fertilize while in full bloom.
remove flowers as they begin to fade.
they do well in clay pots but you can grow then in plastic without trouble.
when you buy one make sure they haven't been watering into the crown (center) of the plant.

Care
Potting Soil: Cyclamen persicum does best planted in a soil-based potting mix, with the top of the tuber just slightly above the soil line.

Water:

* When leaves are present, the plant is actively growing. Water whenever the soil feels dry. Avoid getting water on the crown of the plant.

* As the flowers begin to fade, gradually allow the plant to dry out for 2-3 months. It's going into a dormant stage (see below) and any excess water will cause the tuber to rot.

* New growth will probably start to appear around September. At this point, resume watering and feeding. Bring it back indoors before the cold weather.

Humidity: High humidity, especially during winter, is crucial. Keep the cyclamen on a tray of water with a layer of pebbles or something else to form a shelf for the cyclamen pot to sit on. Do not let the cyclamen itself sit in the water.

Fertilizer: Feed with a low-nitrogen fertilizer every couple of weeks while in full leaf.

Light: Give cyclamen bright, indirect light in the winter. While your plant is dormant during the summer, keep it out of bright light.

Temperature: Cyclamen do not like heat, but they are not frost hardy. Do not expose to temperatures below 50 degrees F. Avoid drafts as well as hot, dry air.
Answer: 3.
They need to be in a cool environment ; they like it when the daytime temp does not go above 70 degrees and evening temps go to 40-50 degrees. Also, do not overwater them.

I love cyclamen, too, but I live in Florida and my house is rarely below 70 degrees. I could never grow them successfully :-(

I don't like doing this, but if you refer to the sight below, it should give you some detail on the problem. It may not be the water, or the sun but the TEMP at where they were kept that caused the problem Good luck!
