Six year old Mini-Cyclamen


Six year old Mini-Cyclamen

All Cyclamen seem to thrive on my windowsill and just go on and on from strength to strength. I give all my Cyclamen an absolute dry cool rest when the leaves die back and only water when new leaves begin to appear again, which can be at any time of the year. I wonder whether the secret of their longevity is complete freedom from Aphid infestation and consequent non-infection with the numerous viruses which they carry.

You've definately done well carrying this one so long. Its really rewarding you with loads of blooms. My recent acquisition went straight from blooms to new leaves, will remember to rest it if it dies back, to see this kind of result. Well done.
