Cyclamen come from rocky hillsides and shady woods around Greece, Turkey, the Middle East and northern Africa, so they like cool, bright conditions. Protect them from frost and grow them in temperatures over 5C, which means a sheltered garden spot in mild climates and a bright position indoors elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant so the top of the tuber sits above the soil surface, as it does in the tube.

Pull off spent flower stems and yellowed leaves at the base. Cyclamen grow from tubers and usually go dormant for part of the year, often summer, when they are not flowering.

Expect a small plant on arrival, with the top of the tuber showing at the surface. Pot it up straight away, keeping the tuber top above the soil, and give it bright, dappled light. Flowers follow in the cooler months. Plants travel upright in their tubes and settle quickly once watered in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
