mini cyclamen

[cecil39]

i was given some mini cyclamen last november, they were in flower at the time, now they have lots of lovely leaves and look healthy, but i don't know when to expect them to flower again as i expect they were 'forced' to flower when they were sold, advice please.

I have had a cyclamen for years. They will flower every November and sometimes other times of the year. They do not like to be over watered and can stand a few days of neglect. It has I know sad to say a bit like a friend.

It has become like a friend I meant to say!

thanks Gav, they have lived. in my cold porch since the flowers stopped, i stand them in a little water about once a week, i hope i can keep them as long as you have

Gave one to my mother who overwatered it and it died. Then proceeded to tell me they don't like to much water.
What colour are they?
