When taking care of a cyclamen after blooming, allow the leaves to die and stop watering the plant once you see the signs that the leaves are dying. Place the plant in a cool, somewhat dark place. You can remove any dead foliage, if you would like. Let sit for two months.

How do I get my cyclamen to rebloom?
Now that your cyclamens are blooming again, you'll want to keep them in bloom as long as possible. Two essential ingredients are cool night temperatures and frequent deadheading. Cyclamens thrive in cool temperatures, and they like night temperatures as cool as 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 C.).
Should you deadhead cyclamen?
In order to extend the flowering of your cyclamen you will need to deadhead regularly and inspect the foliage for any faded leaves or signs of disease. To correctly remove fading flowers and foliage follow the stem all the way down to the soil.
What is the best fertilizer for cyclamen?
Feeding Cyclamen Plants
Generally, a complete houseplant fertilizer for cyclamens is recommended, like a 10-10-10 or 20-20-20. Fertilize every 3-4 for weeks. Cyclamen plants with yellowing leaves may benefit from a complete houseplant fertilizer with added iron.
How long do cyclamen plants last?
The tuber grows just beneath the soil surface or, in some cases, on top of it. The tubers start out quite small but get wider with age, sometimes exceeding 6" in width and very old tubers can reach the size of a dinner plate. A well-tended cyclamen can live up to 100 years in the same spot.
How do you revive a dying cyclamen?
A One reason cyclamen wilt is lack of water. To rehydrate a plant, stand the pot in a saucer of tepid water and let it soak up moisture from the base. After a couple of hours, tip out any water left in the saucer. In heated houses, wilting is often due to high temperatures.
Do cyclamen come back every year?
A delightful tuberous perennial providing colour often when little else is flowering, particularly in late winter or early spring.
Do Cyclamen like sun or shade?
The tubers are actually just "resting," and need only enough water to keep from completely drying out until new leaves emerge in the fall. They tolerate sun or partial shade, but need protection from hot sun in the afternoons.
What month do cyclamen go dormant?
When Do Cyclamens Go Dormant
Plants learn to survive by blooming in winter or early spring and going dormant in the summer when moisture is scarce. With proper care, dormant cyclamen plants will reemerge in the fall. While they rest, cyclamens need dry soil and dim light.
How often should cyclamen be watered?
Water your cyclamen plant only when the soil is dry to the touch, but do not leave the plant in this dry state so long that it shows visible signs of not being watered, such as droopy leaves and flowers. When you water the plant, water from below the leaves so that the water doesn't touch the stems or leaves.
Should I fertilize my cyclamen?
Cyclamens do need fertilizer but too much will promote lush growth that is more susceptible to disease. Use a low-nitrogen fertilizer or houseplant food for blooming plants every two weeks when in active growth. Flowers and leaves grow from the tuber.
What can I feed my outdoor cyclamen?
If slow release fertiliser isn't incorporated into the compost they will need feeding every week with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Feed until the leaves start to go yellow in summer. Don't feed if the soil is bone dry.
