The cyclamen in the garden - meet needs
A faded cyclamen in the pot is far from being a feed for the biowaste. This perennial can be easily planted in the garden to be summered there. Even the winter time can spend the cyclamen in the garden and visually enhance with its flowers.
Winter hardy cyclamen for the garden
Not all cyclamen are created for the free world. Most species that are sold as potted plants are poorly hardy and therefore not suitable for the garden. But there are also some species that make a lot of visuals and are made for outdoor cultivation.
The following species are best chosen by gardeners:
Planting cyclamen in the garden: The right location
Task number one should be to offer cyclamen an ideal location. In the field, these shrubs prefer half shady to shady. Places under summer-green groves are recommended.
Put the tuber deep enough
So that the cyclamen in the garden can be wintered without damage, a deciding factor should be taken into account when planting: The tuber should be planted at least 7 cm deep into the soil (with the root tuft downwards). It should be paid attention to a moist and humus soil.
Care: multiply, fertilize and overwinter
To increase cyclamen in the garden is no challenge. These plants like to replenish themselves after they have gained a good foothold. They do not need much care. It is sufficient to fertilize them easily after composting with compost or other complete fertilizer and in the winter with leaves, brushwood or spruce branches to protect from the winter sun.
