Anyone with experience growing cyclamen? I was reading that they have a dormancy period in the summer wondering how you handle that?

I consulted with Plant AI and was told to place my plant in a cool dark room and not to water it or fertilize it until October. We’ll see what happens. I haven’t been disappointed in anything they’ve told me to do yet.  
Good luck with your cyclamen. It’s beautiful. Mine wasn’t looking good. Leaves were yellowing and drooping and it wasn’t overwatered.  
I have, in the past, continued to water it during these months and it did fine without going dormant. I just thought I’d try this now.
