Re: [SG] Welcome/ Cyclamen Bulbs

Hello.  I have a question about some bachleor buttons that I have planted in
my yard.  I live in Houston TX where it is still in the 80s but I have
noticed that the plants have started drooping over.  I assume that this
means they are at the end of their season.  Should I pull them up?  Some of
the plants still have the purple flower but they are no longer standing.  Is
this normal?

Hello Vanessa,
        Careful there on planting those Cyclamen. They need to be planted
shallow.
Just beneath ground level and mulch lightly. Don't smother. Roots are fine
in texture so loosen up that soil where you are going to plant them and mix
in a liberal amount of coarse compost.
