Garden mums should be pinched back in late spring and mid-summer to provide the best fall blooming. Cyclamen - Cyclamen are available in a variety of colors including white, pink, purple, lavender and some bicolor. Flowers should bloom for two to four months. These plants prefer cooler temperatures such as an east or north window. Watering is the trick to continued health in these plants.
Plants can succumb to either over watering or under watering.
Watering can be lessened after flower production. After the leaves die back, allow the stem to remain dry six weeks before rewatering. New foliage will appear after watering begins again. Poinsettia - There are so many different bract colors available now that anyone can find a color to suit their taste. Bright, indirect light and frequent light waterings are essential to the health of the plant.
