The Science of Cyclamen Nutrition

The Cyclamen Specialized Fertilizer Formula "Cyclamen Pro"

Cyclamen, as tuberous plants, have special nutrient requirements for optimal development:

• Nitrogen (N) for leaf mass: Promotes formation of stable, heart-shaped leaves for maximum photosynthesis. Nitrogen is essential for vigorous leaf development and healthy tubers.
• Phosphorus (P) for flower formation: Intensively stimulates flower development and ensures bright, long-lasting flowers. Phosphorus is the key to spectacular cyclamen flower splendor.
• Potassium (K) for tuber health: Strengthens the tuber and increases resistance to diseases. Potassium is important for survival and vitality.
• Magnesium (Mg) for chlorophyll: Central atom of chlorophyll, important for vigorous green leaves and optimal photosynthesis. Prevents yellowing of leaves.
• Iron (Fe) against chlorosis: Prevents iron deficiency chlorosis and ensures healthy, green leaves. Particularly important for characteristic leaf patterns.
• Sulfur (S) for proteins: Important for protein synthesis and enzyme formation, supports vigorous growth and tuber development.
• Trace element complex: Complete spectrum of all important micronutrients for optimal cyclamen health.
• Complex compounds: Revolutionary technology for immediate nutrient availability and optimal uptake.
• Tuber strengthener: Special nutrient combination for healthy tuber development and longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

When and how often should I fertilize my cyclamen?

Fertilize your cyclamen every 2-3 weeks during active growth and flowering phases (September to May). During the summer dormant phase (June-August), no fertilization is given as plants have no above-ground parts then.

Can I use the fertilizer for hardy cyclamen in the garden?

Yes, our cyclamen fertilizer is also suitable for hardy cyclamen. Fertilize these during their active phases in autumn and spring. Dosage can be slightly reduced for outdoor cyclamen.

Why are my cyclamen leaves turning yellow?

Yellow leaves can have various causes: over-fertilization, waterlogging, too warm temperatures or natural aging. Reduce fertilization, improve drainage and place the plant in a cooler location.

How do I recognize if my cyclamen get too much or too little fertilizer?

Too little fertilizer: Weak, small flowers, pale leaves, short flowering period. Too much fertilizer: Yellow leaves, excessive leaf growth, soft shoots, increased disease susceptibility. Follow the recommended dosage.

Should I fertilize my cyclamen during flowering?

Yes, especially during flowering time cyclamen need regular fertilization for bright colors and long flower durability. Fertilize every 2-3 weeks during the entire flowering phase from autumn to spring.

What do I do with my cyclamen in summer?

In summer cyclamen enter dormancy. Gradually reduce watering and stop fertilization. The tuber can be stored dry and cool. In autumn the new cycle begins with fresh sprouting.
