Can anybody help me figure out what’s going on with her? I’ve checked for bugs and it’s good on that I’ve watered to keep dirt moist but all the sudden this what she looks like but she has so many new leaves coming and there’s lots of flower buds in the center where the new leaves are coming in
When new leaves come in, sometimes the plant needs to find a way to keep them better stabilized, so they get rid of the older leaves… but there are a lot of leaves that are turning yellow so it could be a nutrition deficiency, watering issue or sun problem. What type of plant is this?
1 like Thank you it’s a Cyclamen
0 likes Cyclamen plants thrive in cool, bright spots with evenly moist soil, requiring a specific balance to avoid overwatering and root rot. They also need a bit of extra humidity, especially indoors. During dormancy, which is typically in the warmer months, watering should be reduced significantly

Your Cyclamen is getting ready to nap for summer! The leaves turn yellow as the weather warms. You can just twist them at the base and toss them out. No need to water anymore this season. If you have a cool, dry, dark place, you can place her there until around October and then slowly start watering. It will bloom again and last until next April or so. Good luck! 💙💙

1 like Thank you so much! So I just trim off the bad looking leaves and put her up correct?
1 like Yes! They benefit from pulling off spent leaves and buds rather than cutting. Reach down near the base of the flower or leaf, twist and pull. Once all is pulled and the plant is dried out, she can take a nap until around October. 💙🪴

This is the main reason I can’t have cyclamens. They hibernate when the rest of my plants starting flourish again. Then, I forget to start watering months later. 😄
