If you are searching for indoor cyclamen plants for sale, you have come to the right place.
What Are Cyclamen Plants?
Cyclamen are tuberous perennial plants native to Europe and the Mediterranean region. People are obsessed with their vibrant blooms and unique foliage. The flowers, which look like butterflies in flight, are available in a variety of colors including pink, red, white, and lavender.
Cyclamen are winter-blooming plants, making them a rarity and a bonus for your indoor plant collection. When most houseplants are dormant, cyclamen explode in color providing color, joy, and cheer during the winter months.
Reasons to Consider Indoor Cyclamen Plants
If you are curious about why indoor cyclamen plants are so popular among plant enthusiasts, here are a few reasons for you:
- Beautiful Blooms
While many houseplants are grown for their foliage, cyclamen provide bright, beautiful flowers. Their stunning petals and bright colors make them ideal for placing on your windowsill, tabletop, or office desk.
- Long Blooming Season
Cyclamen usually bloom for weeks and sometimes months, typically blooming from late fall to early spring. They hold a long blooming season, which makes them amazing indoor plants during the winter.
- Tiny Size
Cyclamen are small, and perfect for tighter spaces. Their compact size makes them a great addition to apartments, dorms, or offices.
- Air Purifying Characteristics
In general, houseplants are known to be good for indoor air quality, and cyclamen are no different. Houseplants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, making all of your indoor environments better places to be.
Indoor Cyclamen Plant Care Guidelines
Taking care of cyclamen is fairly straightforward, if you remember a few fundamentals:
Watering
Cyclamen prefer moist soil and not soggy. Water the plant from the bottom by placing the pot in a saucer of water, and allowing it to soak for 15-20 minutes. Do not water from the top and get water on the crown as you may rot the plant.
Light
Place cyclamen in bright but indirect sunlight. A north or east facing window is best. Direct sun can scorch the delicate leaves and flowers.
Temperature
Cyclamen develop best in cooler indoor temperatures. They prefer temperatures 50°F to 65°F (10°C to 18°C). Keep cyclamen away from heat sources and drafts.
Dormancy
After flowering cyclamen has a dormancy period where the leaves decay. This is normal - reduce watering, place the tuber in a cool, dry place, and resume care once new leaves emerge.
Choosing the Right Cyclamen Variety
There are many cyclamen varieties available, but the most common for indoor use is Cyclamen persicum, also known as the florist's cyclamen. This variety is known for its large, frilly blooms and patterned leaves.
Miniature cyclamen varieties are also available and are ideal for small spaces or creating group arrangements.
