Warm gardens can keep it on a covered verandah in winter; in cool or frosty regions it belongs indoors.

Set the tuber so its top sits above the surface, as in the tube, because burying it invites rot.

Give it a pot at least 30cm wide, or about 60cm of space in a border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the leaves turning yellow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summer it is usually dormancy, which is normal: reduce watering and let the tuber rest, then restart in autumn. Yellowing mid season usually means overwatering or too much warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nursery Near Me","offers":[{"title":"Tube","offer_id":67787205148991,"sku":"CYC-PER-MAMMOT-tube","price":18.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2917\/5359\/files\/mammoth-cream-white-florist-cyclamen-cyclamen-persicum-mammoth-cream-white.jpg?v=1792152060","url":"https:\/\/nurserynearme.com.au\/products\/mammoth-cream-white-florist-cyclamen-cyclamen-persicum-mammoth-cream-white","provider":"Nursery Near Me","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
