Humidity: It prefers cool, humid environments. To maintain moisture, use a pebble tray or stay away from heaters.
Temperature: Enjoys cooler temperatures of 10–18°C (50–65°F) and should be kept away from drafts or heating vents.
Feeding: Feed every two weeks during the blooming period with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer. Stop feeding during dormancy.
Dormancy: Cyclamen may lose its leaves after flowering as it enters dormancy. Reduce watering, keep the tuber cool, dry, and resume care when new growth appears.

Water your Cyclamen when the top inch of soil feels dry. Remember to water at the base to avoid wetting the leaves and ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent soggy roots.
