Best Locations For Growing Halios Silverleaf Red Cyclamen

This cyclamen thrives in cool indoor spaces such as living rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms, or shaded patios and balconies outdoors. Its bright foliage and striking flowers make it a charming focal point in well-lit areas. However, cyclamen are toxic to pets and children if ingested, so ensure it is placed out of reach.

Halios Silverleaf Red Cyclamen Sunlight Requirements

Position in bright, indirect light indoors or partial shade outdoors. Indoors, place near an east-facing or filtered south-facing window. Avoid direct sunlight, which may scorch the leaves and flowers.

Halios Silverleaf Red Cyclamen Care

Use a well-draining potting mix enriched with organic material, such as a sandy loam blend. Repot every two to three years during dormancy to refresh the soil and prevent root crowding. Deadhead spent blooms and remove yellowing leaves to encourage prolonged flowering and maintain the plant’s attractive appearance.

Watering Halios Silverleaf Red Cyclamen

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Bottom-watering is recommended to avoid wetting the leaves and crown, which can lead to rot. During dormancy, stop watering for a few months and place the plant in a cool dark space.

Feeding Halios Silverleaf Red Cyclamen

Fertilize once a month during the growing season (autumn to spring) with a low-nitrogen liquid fertilizer applied at a low rate. Pause feeding during the plant’s summer dormancy.
