large-leaved cyclamen

Grow in a cool greenhouse in bright filtered light, in containers using loam-based potting compost (JI No.2), water moderately in full leaf and use a low nitrogen liquid fertiliser, reduce water as leaves wither after flowering. Keep dry when dormant then resume watering and feeding as new growth appear. Repot when tubers fill their container

No pruning necessary, tidy old leaves and flowers

Propagate by seed, as for hardy cyclamen

May be prone to vine weevil, mice and glasshouse red spider mite

Grey moulds (botrytis) may be a problem under glass
