Answer 1

As the days get longer, late spring to early summer depending on where you live, the cyclamens will go into dormancy. They will stop flowering, and the leaves will dry up. I just keep mine in the pots, watering them only very occasionally, just enough to keep the tubers from shriveling up (maybe once a month or so.) Then keep the pots in a sheltered location, such as under a porch roof, and begin watering regularly when you see the new growth beginning in late fall or early winter. I have kept cyclamens going for more than 5 years in this way, repotting them in spring if the tubers are getting too large for the pot. I now have many new plants which started from the seeds. The seedlings grow pretty slowly, but it's very cool to increase my collection for free.
