Cyclamen Outdoor in Freezing Temps: Bring In, Cool Bright Spot

A cyclamen left outdoors in Italy at 7–9°C day / below 0°C night is freezing. Cyclamen need 5–15°C (41–59°F), bright light, and dry cycles.

Immediate Action

• Bring indoors NOW.
• Place in bright, cool spot (5–15°C / 41–59°F).
• Water by soaking when pot feels very light.
• Let drain completely.

Why It Failed Outside

• Below 5°C = cold damage.
• Freezing = tissue death.
• Wet + cold = rot.

Recovery

Remove yellow/soft leaves. With cool bright indoor conditions, it may rebloom. Cyclamen are resilient if not frozen solid.
