Cyclamen 🌿💗🌿

 

Last month I decided to take up this very old and sad looking cyclamen and re-pot it , but as you can see the corm turned out to be a lot bigger than I had thought it was and it needed a much bigger pot . 

This one was broken and waiting to be taken to the tip , but I thought it might do until I could get a nice new one ...and now I was half way through ..I decided to carry on and get the job done as best I could .

I left a good part of the corm above the earth as it was in the previous pot ...I quite like the bright green moss .

I scrounged some horticultural grit from around other plants in the greenhouse . I just can not find horticultural grit at a price that I can afford !

                                   So that would have to do .

I then pretty much forgot all about it ....until today . My husband helped me with my walking frame to get up to the shed to check on everything .

 It was a lovely surprise to see it now in full bloom !

Some of the horticultural grit and a little of the compost has washed away revealing some of it's roots , I like the look of it's roots  and anyway the Autumn leaves are falling all around them now  🍂🍃🍁🍂 It looks happy again .

So now we await the first named storm of the season . Storm Amy .

Not sure when it's going to hit yet . I expect it will be wild and wet here for a time . 

 Wherever you are please take care and keep yourself safe  .

                                    love and hugs Debbie  x
