What are the best growing tips for Cyclamen coum KOUMY® Dark Pink Green Leaf?
Plant Cyclamen coum KOUMY® Dark Pink Green Leaf in autumn, during frost-free periods in winter, or in early spring.

Space plants approximately 20 cm apart and position the tuber about 5 cm below the soil surface. Water after planting and during dry periods in autumn and spring. Reduce watering during summer dormancy. Cultivate the soil only at surface level to avoid damaging the tubers.
