Giving your cyclamen bright, indirect light in the winter when the plant is actively growing is ideal. When the spring and summer roll around, the plant becomes dormant, and it’s best to keep cyclamen in a cool, dark spot with good air circulation.

Watering when leaves are present, and the plant is actively growing, you’ll want to water whenever the soil feels dry about an inch below its surface. Avoid getting water on the leaves or crown of the plant, which can cause it to rot. In the summer, while the plant is dormant, water infrequently only to prevent the soil from entirely drying out.
Your cyclamen will not tolerate extreme heat, drafts or dry air, so keeping it in cooler temperatures will help extend the life of their beautiful blooms. They grow best in temperatures between 50° and 60°Â F.
Feed your cyclamen plant with a diluted liquid low-nitrogen fertilizer every couple of weeks while in full leaf. You don’t need to fertilize cyclamen while it’s dormant.
Cyclamen flowers enjoy areas where there is higher humidity like a bathroom or kitchen. If you need to incorporate humidity placing the pot on a tray of damp rocks will help.Â
Mildly toxic if eaten in large quantities. Keep away from dogs, cats, and children.

Hydrangeas do well in partially shaded areas like under a large tree or on the side of a house. They like to receive sun in the morning, and the partial shade is in the heat of the afternoon. In Colorado, too much full sun will cause them to get sunburned.
Hydrangea shrubs need to have well-draining soils that is rich in organic matter. Most Colorado soils will benefit from the addition of peat moss and compost that helps retain moisture. The pH determines the colors of the blooms. Acidic soil will give you blue flowers, and alkaline soil gives you pink flowers. Â
If hydrangea shrubs are given too much high-nitrogen fertilizer, they may grow full and lush, but there will be fewer flowers. If the soil is rich, fertilizer is not needed. Otherwise, a light application in March or April may be warranted.
Make sure to water your hydrangea shrubs regularly. Those big blooms require a lot of water to stay lush and full. About one inch of water throughout the week is ideal. If they receive more sun give them at least two inches during the hotter summer days.
