Cyclamen persicum TUXEDO® 'Deep Magenta'
Cyclamen persicum TUXEDO® 'Deep Magenta' is a compact mini cyclamen with rich magenta flowers held above decorative silvery foliage. The swept-back petals contrast strongly with the pale leaves, creating an attractive display even in a small pot.
Flowering slightly later than standard mini cyclamen, it is particularly suited to late autumn and Christmas indoor displays. Its neat size makes it ideal for windowsills, tabletops and seasonal gifts. Choose a cool, bright position away from radiators to help prolong flowering.

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
