Cyclamen 2018

[Roma]

Just had to show you another pic of my Cyclamen mirabile.  The big one is in a 25 cm. (10in.) pot.  The smaller is in a 15cm (6in) pot. The seed was labelled 'Tilebarn Nicholas'.  The leaves of the smaller one are closest to the original.

Wow, Roma! I've never seen them get so big!
What's your regime for these?
When do you re-pot? and how much bigger a pot can you use?
cheers

They are great, Roma. It is nice to see how old they are,

And finally the leaves of C. crassifolium ex CSE 93073:

I and this crassifolium - no idea. Was it part of Jan Bravenboer's list? I have a record of all seed I bought of him, but this one does not show up there. It is a stunning series, all plants with the green border and white centre. Will post more pics when the others develop.

c crassifolium is very nice

Two beautiful pots Roma.

This is a hederifolium from seed Hans Joschko sent me way back in 2012 as arrow leaf form.

A nice dark form of Cyclamen cilicium from seed Tony Willis sent to me way back in 2011.





... and another cilicium dark form

For some reason I haven't been successful with Cyc. intaminatum in the past, this one came from Mike Quest last year, hope I can keep it!

I have made a new thread for the Cyclamen Society Show at Harlow Carr - and added some more photos to Steve W.'s , for Cliff Booker ....   http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=16680.0

Cyclamen growers, Please have a look at my question about vine Weevil treatment in the Cultivation problems thread:

Thank you

Sadly lost my largest plant last year - the corm was about 6" across -- must have had it over 30 years

However I did sow some seed off it in 2006 and they are still under a bench all these years later - although it seems to have a rogue white hederifolium appear from somewhere.

Some are a little pinker flowers





I have been intending on potting them on for some time now......

[Graeme]

Coum seem to be very early this year - perhaps the warm weather - I may have watered early but all are in full growth




the bees seem to have been through the hederifolium and there were a lot of dropped flowers today

however I have two H. Stargazer now but they are both white - does anyone have a pink one

I have had the paintbrush round both with pollen from the dark flowered hederifolium so we I will see if I get seed set

I think luck is the main factor.  Sow lots of seeds ( though these two were from 5 seeds of Cyclamen mirabile from SRGC).  Grow them for a looong time.  There is quite a difference in size and they are both the same age.
 I think benign neglect would describe my regime for most of my Cyclamen.  I dry them off once the weather gets warmer and they start losing their leaves.  They then stay under the bench for summer and I start watering once I see flowering begin  The big one now stays on top of the bench as it's a bit heavy to move and i'm not as fit as I used to be.
I repot young plants annually and do it less frequently as they (and I) get older.  The larger Cyclamen mirabile was potted on in 2014 as watering was getting a bit difficult.  I think it was in a 6 or 7 inch pot.  It will NOT be getting a bigger pot than 10 inch.
