My cyclamen is in a container. I was not sure how far along it would last, but was impressed how it is throwing out leaves now, as long as it is in shade. On our recent heat wave temps hovered 95 to 106F, but it endured, as long as I water it early in the morning. But weather cooled down this week (77 to 83F), so I do not know if that is helping it with its leaf growing attempts too. I have no plans of pulling it out. I wanted to see how it will fare this summer, in just that condition of care, keeping it moist but in shade.
