It is now July and not only has it not gone dormant, but it\'s been on my porch for several months and it has new flowers coming up (5 that I\'ve counted) as well as new leaves (second picture). My understanding is that this plant should have gone dormant on roughly the same schedule as my primrose, spring bulbs, and ranunculus, all of which DID go dormant as expected. Is this normal for cyclamen? If I am doing something wrong I want to help it to go dormant but in reality I\'ve never grown a cyclamen before so I don\'t know where to start. Any ideas as to what (if anything) I should do next? The temperatures are in the 82-85F degree range but it\'s just sitting on my porch making new flowers and leaves all the time... |
