We do not have a greenhouse, so I wondered if they would be better wintering in our conservatory. it is not heated but at least they would be out of the frost and snow.
Thank you

Hi Aberdeen, I'm assuming that's where you are ?? I have sold about 3000 of these cyclamen this year and the type I grow is a variety called 'Miracle' !! I dont know what B&Q sell but yes, a conservatory where you are might be best but dont overwater them. They will flower until next March/April and then if you have some trees, plant them out under those and they should come up again in August/September next year.
Most people tend to overwater them, leave them dry out and if possible water early in the morning to allow the foliage to dry out before night time.
regards, Lannerman.
