Oh yeah @ctrl-alt-nwo, it's a beautiful plant and it has a large rounded tuber, towering above the surface of the ground. Leaves are dark green dense. Flowers are large bright or softly-pastel tones.

Lighting
Cyclamen needs bright lighting, but without direct sunlight.

Watering
During the flowering period, the plant should be watered abundantly, but without overmoistening. In the period of rest watering should be significantly reduced, watered just enough so that the soil does not dry out. Water cyclamen should be very careful. Water should not fall on the top of the tuber and shoots.

Fertilizer
Fertilizer is a very important part in caring for cyclamens. This is important for proper development and beautiful flowering. Fertilize once in 2 weeks, you can use any commercially available complex mineral fertilizer, you can use a special fertilizer for flowering plants. During the rest period cyclamen is not fertilized.

Transfer
Cyclamen transplantation is performed in the summer, usually in the second half, when the growth of young leaves begins. Pot for transplantation should not be spacious, between the edge of the pot and the tuber should be no more than 2-3 cm. Drainage is necessary. At the transplantation it is desirable to steal the earth and to process with a pink solution of potassium permanganate, t. cyclamen is easily attacked by pests. Tuber during transplantation can not be deeply buried, above the ground should be left from a third to half of the tuber. The transplant should be done carefully, so as not to damage the roots.
