Features: This book is designed for beginners in gardening, using color photos and illustrations to introduce the cultivation and management techniques of Cyclamen month by month from January to December. It also provides a simple and easy-to-understand explanation of the joy and charm of growing Cyclamen.
① Cyclamen is primarily grown as a potted plant, so this book focuses on potted cultivation.
② It explains how to manage purchased blooming plants to extend their flowering period as much as possible.
③ Many blooming plants purchased in the same year are expected to bloom again the following year, so the book provides detailed instructions on overwintering. It also covers both continuous cultivation and dormancy.
④ For cultivation methods from sowing to blooming, please refer to pages 71-97.
⑤ It explains cyclamen in three categories: large-flowered, medium-flowered, and small-flowered. Without special instructions, their cultivation methods are general.
⑥ In this book, "purchased plants" refer to blooming plants bought from flower shops; "overwintering plants" are those that survived the summer in the previous or current year; "seed-grown plants" are those cultivated from seeds to a size capable of blooming; and "seedlings" are small plants grown from seeds but not yet blooming.
⑦ The tasks for each month are listed on the first page of that month. Sections on placement and watering are more detailed.
