Indoor gardening with Cyclamen

The cyclamen is a semi-alpine plant. Often seen for sale throughout the fall and winter as a houseplant, the native environment for cyclamen is found in Italy, Sicily and also in the clay soil of England. The genus name Cyclamen is derived from the Greek word kyklamenos which means "circle form."



The tubers produce a silvery marbled colored leaf and flowers that range from lavender, rose, maroon, red and white. Since Cyclamens love a moist atmosphere, they are perfect for the indoor garden. With elements such as cooler temperatures, plenty of air and lots of moisture you can grow Cyclamen with little problem for many years indoors.
