After a purchase in a shop, a transplant is usually required for all plants. Check whether you need a transplant is your flower is not difficult. Take it out of the pot and carefully inspect the root system. If you see that the earth's clod is completely braided with roots and it's practically invisible, it means that your cyclamen is just needed to transplant. Otherwise, from closeness, he may soon die.
When to transplant cyclamen after purchase?
A flower transplantation should be done during the rest period, but before the start, when it starts to be knocked out. Usually this is July month. But if your cyclamen is covered with flowers or buds, then do not hurry up - wait until the plant fades.
How to transplant a cyclamen after flowering?
In no event, it is not necessary to transplant from a small pot immediately into a large cyclamen, from this soil, which did not have time to learn roots, will quickly turn sour and the flower die. When choosing a pot, remember that the distance between the cyclamen bulb and the pot should be no more than three centimeters.
It is very important to choose the soil for the cyclamen: it must be air-and moisture-permeable. Such a soil can be bought, and you can cook yourself. Very good soil will be: the land is tundish, deciduous, sand, humus - all in proportion (1: 1: 1: 1). You can also add a little bit of rubble and chopped lime.
Prepare good drainage during transplantation. Remember that if you have a cyclamen of the type "Persian", you need to leave half the tuber above the ground, and if "European", the tubers will be completely closed. Transplant neatly so as not to destroy the earthen lump with roots.
Three weeks after the transplant, make a fertilizing. Very closely monitor the watering of the cyclamen. It can not be dried, but it must not be allowed to overflow. Water with standing water from the pan. Make sure that the water does not get into the outlet of the leaves - this can cause the corms to rot.
