    A very pretty one at that - the contrast on your flowers is spectacular!

    You need to make sure it doesn't get too hot as well, they like cool temperatures.

    Thanks for all your kind words and reply!

    I went through websites on Cyclamens care, so will this kind of watering works? I just submerge my pot of Cyclamens into a tub of water and will take it up after the soil feel wet.

    Also, I'm have a question about climate. The country I lived in, have an Equatorial Climate so would it affect the plant in anyway since there is no four season?

    Yep - you got it:) That's exactly what I do with mine. Just make sure you don't leave it with 'wet feet' i.e empty the tup once the surface feels wet! Good luck with your beautiful plant.
