Late sprouting cyclamen seed!

9 years ago

Long story short---cyclamen grew, flowered, set seed, and I harvested them.

Gently spread them in a small pot and cared for them. For a looooooooong time. No sprouts.

Put the used soil in my small container of "used but good soil". Reused the soil for a couple different things for mostly topdressing.

And after months,,,,,they are now sprouting! In various pots!!!! I know the little tubers form first then sprout but the problem is, these little things are at least 4 inches down.

The question is,,,,do I gently dig them up and only put that tiny tuber near the top of the soil like it is supposed to be and let the loooooong stem and leaf gently lay on top of the soil? Or should I transplant them and rebury them at the same depth since they seem to be growing well that way???? I really want to bring them all together in one pot but the transplanting depth is confusing me. They are popping up in the most unusual places!!!! After a while they will not be compatable so I thought I should try to replant them asap.

Any thoughts??? Please???? Rosie
