During the dormancy period of Cyclamen, water must be controlled, just let the soil slightly wet. In autumn, it began to grow new leaves, so we need to increase the amount of watering, and we need to pay attention that when watering, it can not be directly poured on the leaves, flowers and bulbs, just do a good job of maintenance.

I. watering in summer

Watering is determined according to the time period of its growth. Generally, during the summer dormancy period, it grows slowly. At this time, it is necessary to control the amount of watering. Just pour a little water along the edge of the basin to keep the soil moist. Never pour more water. In addition, when it rains, it can't be drenched by rain. If it gets drenched accidentally, it is necessary to drain the rainwater in the basin in time to prevent the root from rotting.

II. Watering in autumn

When the temperature drops in autumn, it will start to grow new leaves. At this time, we need to increase the amount of water and apply a little compound fertilizer to it. When the buds appear in November, the watering should be reduced, because if too much water is applied at this time, the leaves and pedicels will start to grow in vain and collapse. In addition, in the process of watering, you can't directly pour water on its leaves, flowers and bulbs, or it will rot.

3. Other maintenance during dormancy period

When it is in the dormancy period, besides proper watering, we should also do other maintenance. First, we can take out the bulb and refrigerate it when it is in the dormancy period. After this period of time, we can replant it. Second, when it is dormant, it can still be put in the basin for maintenance. It is not necessary to take out the ball root, so that it can continue to be dormant. At this time, it needs to reduce watering, so that it can pass the dormancy period.
