As cyclamen continue to flower during these cool days, remove faded flowers and stems to encourage repeat flowering. Also remove spent foliage. Once a plant has finished flowering and the leaves begin to yellow, the cyclamen enters dormancy.
Most gardeners toss such plants and buy new ones the following fall or holiday season.
But some pull cyclamen through the summer. When the foliage withers, move the plant to a cool, dark spot and stop watering. In late August or early September, repot the tuber using fresh potting soil. The top third of the tuber should be above the soil level. The leaves will appear before too long, the flowers in about two months.
