How do you grow cyclamen Hederifolium from seed?

Sow the seed into small pots containing a fairly light, gritty soil and lightly cover with soil. Most of the seed should germinate in 28 to 42 days but some may be considerably longer. Do not throw away the pots for at least one year.

When should I plant cyclamen seeds?

Cyclamen seed should be sown as soon as possible after it ripens in trays or shallow pans. I use John Innes seed compost with a small amount (about 10 per cent) of perlite and the same amount of leaf mould. The seed should be sown thinly and covered with about one centimetre of horticultural grit.

How long do cyclamen seeds take to germinate?

Germination can take 30 – 60 days, and once the seedlings appear, remove the covering and pop your pot into a bright position.

How do you propagate cyclamen?

When you are propagating cyclamen plants, you want to use the swollen underground root called the tuber. Cyclamens reproduce via this tuber. You can propagate the plant by lifting the tuber from the soil in the fall and dividing it. Replant the pieces under about 2 inches (5 cm.)

Do cyclamen come back every year?

A delightful tuberous perennial providing colour often when little else is flowering, particularly in late winter or early spring.

Can Cyclamen be grown from seed?

Can you grow cyclamen from seed? Yes, you can, but it takes some special treatment. For one thing, cyclamen seeds have a period of “ripeness,” basically the month of July, when it's best to plant them. You can harvest them yourself or buy ripe seeds from the store.

Do Cyclamen like sun or shade?

The tubers are actually just "resting," and need only enough water to keep from completely drying out until new leaves emerge in the fall. They tolerate sun or partial shade, but need protection from hot sun in the afternoons.

Do you deadhead cyclamen?

In order to extend the flowering of your cyclamen you will need to deadhead regularly and inspect the foliage for any faded leaves or signs of disease. To correctly remove fading flowers and foliage follow the stem all the way down to the soil.

Do cyclamen spread?

And once you have hardy cyclamen in your garden, they'll spread themselves about. This starts slowly, with the occasional appearance of dark green, ivy-like leaves in borders or cracks in paving – flowers usually follow the year after.
