When the cyclamen thrive in your own four walls, you should pay particular attention to the temperature, because the plants do not like too much heat.

In the case of unheated rooms, just make sure that the temperatures do not fluctuate too much. A well-drained soil combined with the right pot is essential for your cyclamen to stay healthy in the pot for a long time. The plants are very sensitive to waterlogging and have to be watered skillfully.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cyclamen_outside_in_the_garden_characteristics_and_demands\"><\/span>Cyclamen outside in the garden: characteristics and demands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>All hardy species are suitable for planting in the garden.
