Plant Propagation

Cyclamen propagation

19 years ago

I have two species of hardy Cyclamen( C. coum & C. hederaefolia) that I would like to propagate by division of the tubers. Has anyone had experience with this technique?

I suppose that composition of the propagation medium is of utmost importance & perhaps use of a fungistat is second.

Any info will be much appreciated.

It's a virtually never done thing. They grow fabulously from seed, but cutting of tubers is seldom done. Generally high loss rates to rot and other problems. One must get sections with a piece of both the growth points and root growth to have any chance at all.
