Cyclamen care starts with the correct temperature. In nature, cyclamens grow in cool, humid environments. If the temperature of your house is over 68F during the day and 50F at night, your cyclamen will start to die slowly. cannot tolerate temperatures below 40F.Be sure that when you water the plant, you thoroughly soak the soil and let any excess water drain away.The next part of cyclamen plant care is fertilizer. Only fertilizer once every 1-2 months with water soluble fertilizer mixed at half strength. When cyclamen get too much fertilizer, it can affect their ability to rebloom.Once a cyclamen has finished its dormant period, you can start to water it again and bring it out of storage. You may see some leaf growth, and this is ok. Make sure to completely soak the soil. You may want to set the pot in a tub of water for an hour or so, then make sure any excess water drains away.
