Title: Cyclamen rerun
Post by: Digeroo on November 27, 2016, 14:20:48
The pot had been sitting on the window sill looking sad, there suddenly it has a plant in it, leaves and loads of flowers.  Quite amazing.  Free bonus!

My question is should I feed it and if so what?

Half strength Baby Bio or Maxicrop.

as mentioned any liquid feed thats a little under strength  should do the job  however maybe just a repot with fresh compost will see it thru another year they should last a good few years  trick is not to over water hope this helps

You say do not over water.  How much do you recommend?  I just tend to put water into the dish below and then tip away any that remains after about five minutes so the corm stays dry.

I normally throw them into the garden.  Never had a resurrection before.  And it has a huge number of flower buds,

Strange how we all do thins different but get good results, I will not water any plant from the bottom as any plant we have in a pot gets water from the top when grown outside rain comes down not up. I believe the secret is not to give water when it is not needed all plants at sometime get on the dry side but please do what suits you .
