Indoor Cyclamen

[Mimi]

Ive been a naughty girl and  I think that I have overwatered my cyclamen. The plant seems healthy enough but had really dried out in the conservatory during the couple of days that we have seen the sun.  So I watered my poor wilting plant and what happens the corm has split down both sides and is oozing a kind of serous liquid.  So apart from laying off the water is there anything else I should be doing to save this beautiful plant?

Doesn't sound too good to me Mimi  Did you water from the bottom so that the plant could take up as much liquid as it needed?  I must say I am never successful with cyclamen indoors, they do much better in my greenhouse which is a shame because I do not get to appreciate them as much.  Such a shame about yours as they are so beautiful.

I always water from the bottom and about this time of year rest them until they start showing leaves again in the Autumn.
