A reader asks what is a good flowering plant to buy for a friend. The answer? Cyclamen would be a good choice and can provide an easy eight weeks of winter color when given proper care.
It will perform best when kept in a north window with bright, indirect light in a cool room of 55 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. These cool temperatures are not typically possible to maintain in most homes, though. If the temperature of your home is over 70 degrees during the day and over 65 degrees at night, your cyclamen may start to yellow and the flowers will more rapidly fade, but this is not necessarily a reason to avoid purchasing this plant for a few weeks of color.
Flowering plants such as azalea, kalanchoe, cyclamen, and amaryllis are good gifts to give during the winter. Most gardeners find it too difficult to force the plant to bloom again the following season and end up buying a new plant. After a cyclamen blooms, it will go into a dormant state, with the leaves turning yellow and falling off. Stop watering the plant once you see the signs that the leaves are all dying back. Place the plant in a cool, somewhat dark place. Remove dead foliage and let the plant sit for a couple of months.
