Cyclamens are cool. They look high maintenance. But, they are easy care.

What kind of things do I need to remember specifically to care for them

### HotelRomeo commented on 2024-01-09

Cyclamen (Persian violet) they do great in full share outside. Only water when dry.

They go dormant though. Yellow leaves are a sign of that.

What does dormat mean

#### Miri replied on 2024-01-10

Means they sleep over summer.
