Planting and Care for Cyclamen Metis 'Victoria' Pink

Cyclamen Metis 'Victoria' Pink is a relatively low-maintenance plant, but a few simple care tips will ensure it remains healthy and vibrant throughout the growing season:

• Height and Spread: Cyclamen Metis 'Victoria' Pink typically grows to a height of 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) with a similar spread of 15-20 cm (6-8 inches). This compact size makes it ideal for small gardens, containers, and indoor settings.

• Planting Location: For optimal growth, plant Cyclamen Metis 'Victoria' Pink in a location with partial to full shade. It prefers cool, sheltered spots in the garden where it will be protected from harsh sunlight and strong winds. The plant is also well-suited for shaded borders, rock gardens, and woodland settings. If planting indoors, choose a bright, cool room away from direct sunlight.

• Soil Requirements: Cyclamen Metis 'Victoria' Pink thrives in well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil pH levels. If planting in containers, use a high-quality potting mix with good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant at the base, avoiding the crown and foliage, to prevent fungal diseases. During the flowering season, reduce watering slightly to allow the soil to dry out between waterings, simulating the plant’s natural Mediterranean environment.

• Fertilization: Feed Cyclamen Metis 'Victoria' Pink with a balanced, liquid fertilizer every two to four weeks during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and abundant flowering. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to lush foliage at the expense of flowers.

• Pruning and Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers and yellowing leaves to encourage new growth and maintain the plant’s neat appearance. Pinch off the stems at the base to prevent any disease from spreading. This practice also helps to prolong the flowering period by redirecting the plant’s energy towards new blooms.

• Overwintering: Cyclamen Metis 'Victoria' Pink is winter-hardy and doesn’t require extensive winter care. However, if grown in containers, ensure they are protected from severe frost by moving them to a sheltered spot or indoors. For outdoor plants, mulching around the base can help protect the roots from extreme cold.
