Cyclamen persicum Metis 'Victoria Salmon'
Cyclamen persicum Metis 'Victoria Salmon' is a compact flowering houseplant with salmon-pink blooms featuring the distinctive fringed, crown-shaped petals of the Victoria type. Its flowers rise above a rounded mound of green foliage with attractive marbled markings.
Ideal for windowsills, tabletops and small seasonal arrangements, this early-flowering cyclamen brings soft colour to cool, bright rooms. Position away from radiators and strong direct sunshine to help prolong the display, and remove faded flowers regularly to keep the plant tidy.

Cyclamen Care
Light: Provide bright, indirect light, avoiding strong direct sunshine.
Water: Water when the compost surface starts to dry. Stand the pot briefly in shallow water, then allow it to drain thoroughly. Avoid wetting the crown and never leave the pot standing in water.
Humidity: Moderate humidity and gentle ventilation are suitable. Avoid misting the flowers and foliage.
Temperature: Cool conditions around 10–16°C help prolong flowering. Keep away from radiators, hot rooms and frost.
Feeding: Apply a low-nitrogen liquid fertiliser fortnightly during active growth, following the product instructions.
Flower care: Remove faded flowers and yellow leaves by gently twisting and pulling their stems away from the base.
Dormancy: Reduce watering as the leaves yellow after flowering. Keep almost dry during summer dormancy, then gradually resume watering when new growth appears in autumn.
Experience level: Moderate
