Hellebores are also known as Christmas rose or Lenten rose. They need part to full shade and want to be planted in a well ? drained soil. While growing, you should keep them moisturized, but once they?re established, they become somewhat drought ? intolerant. When it comes to pruning, the hellebores should be pruned in early winter with cutting away old or damaged foliage of the evergreen.

When it comes to cyclamens, these pretty flowers must be grown in the right temperature. In nature, they grow in rather cool climates, so if you keep them somewhere hot, the?plant will turn yellow, while the flowers will start to fade. Once you get the right temperature, the next important step is the watering. The cyclamen needs?excellent drainage with a potting medium that holds water well and it?s very sensitive to over or under watering.
