    I posted the following on the General Discussion, but now I have discovered this Container section, I wondered if anyone had any more information as I don't know if I should keep my potted Cyclamen nor not. Also, many thanks for anyone who replied earlier:


    In the autumn, I bought 2 types of the Cyclamen - no idea of their
    specific names I'm afraid.

    The 2 larger indoor ones flowered really well from the end of August to March. Now their flowers have finished, but their foilage is still relatively ok and bushy. Should I keep them where they are, keep watering as normal and will they flower again next autumn? Or are they finished forever and should I bin them? I think Cyclamen are a type of corm, but I don't know how they work.

    The outdoor Cyclamen I planted in my window boxes. They did really well until, the very cold winter (and snow!) set in, and eventually they just disintegrated. There is only one tiny one left and it has not flowered since about November. Are they are dead or is there any hope for new life later in the year?
