  • Fitofluorous rot - amazes foliage and floral arrows. The above-ground part quickly blows up and without treatment with fungicide cyclamen dies.
  • Fusariosis - develops with sharp fluctuations in moisture level, for example, with abundant irrigation after a long drought. Manifested by yellowing and drying of the leaves. In this case, it is necessary to adjust watering.

Cyclamen plush not only fungi, but insects are damaged:
