Thorsten, Reading from Grey-Wilson's book on Cyclamen, he states that C. creticum demands the same growing conditions as Cs. repandum, peloponnesiacum &...
I think a number of these plants basically grow in leafmould with rock underneath. This means that the local pH can be much more acidic than the underlying...
Hi all, Haven't posted in a while but I thought I might share this photo with you. My lawn mowing man knocked over a pot of Cyclamen seedlings recently, and ...
I apologize for the large-ish size of the photo I have attached, but if I reduced it any further the details would have really been lost. I took this photo...
Hi Lauren, thanks for this. It's one of the most heartening sights, that tiny pinkish spot that tells you all is well. regards, Mark www.inspiringplants.org ...
A week ago I replaced the woven 50% shade cloth on my Cyclamen house with a knitted cloth said to give 70% shade. I hope this will not be excessive in our...
So where are you that you need shade cloth on your cyclamen house? It is so cold here even the chick weed has stopped growing. Well, I think so but then I...

Tasmania, 43 degrees south latitude, so it is Summer, 32C (90F) today, with 14 hrs of sunshine with no clouds. Perhaps equivalent to Tennessee in August, Hal...
Flowering now in Tasmania, C. intaminatum, shoulder-high to a Lilliputian. Gulliver was in Lilliput, near van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) in 1726 ! Regards to...
Those are the cutest Lilliputian flowers. Those would be nice in anyone's collection. Keep the bees away, get out the paint brush, and save us all some...

I have seen these here on C. persicum and on other flowers eg "Iceberg" rose and have shown them to be due to arrested infection with Botrytis cinerea. As you...

I am new to the group and growing hardy Cyclamen. One of the difficulties is the vocabulary, e.g. entire and subentire. I do not under the connection between...
Art, I don't know of a separate text dealing with this, but you can learn from Christopher Grey-Wilson's beautiful book "Cyclamen, A Guide for Gardeners,...

Dear All, This is all very subjective, about leaf-colour, think lead and silver, and have enough plants to make a judgement. I can't decide, unless I have...
Howdy All, I have promised someone I trade with some Cyclamen rohlfsianum seed, but I cannot for the life of me find the emails with the discussion on it....
You must have a tranquil garden Paul. A friend of mine has observed 100 percent correlation between tree boughs waving and windy weather. He concludes trees...
Hi Ralph, that looks really attractive in that plant! Usually I find them a bit less attractive when they don't reflex. I found a C.persicum like that in a pot...
Greetings, C. hederifolium volunteers appear from time to time in my fifty or so pots of larger woody plants, camellias constituting the majority. I also have...
Hi, I have cyclamen that have got into troughs..they seem to go well with some of the daphnes I have (D.arbuscuala with C.intaminatum and C.repandum). Why are...
I am keeping the compost acid (about 5.5-6 would be ideal, though I don't test individual pots) because that's what the primary inhabitants of the pots (many...
