| I live in Accra-Ghana. I recently brought a plant (see attached picture) from the Netherlands. There was no information on its name and how to take care of it. They are currently showing signs of withering. The leaves of the plants are rough on the surface and smooth at the back. It has smooth individual stems for leaves and flowers. The leaves don't have any distinctive smell when they are crushed. The flowers can be white, red or white and purple combined. They grow singly. The plant has no seeds. I need to know the name so that I can look up how to care for it. Thank you. |

| Hah - Ken - Carol's link says they are tubers, I always thought they were corms, and you think they're bulbs! |

The Cyclamen society calls them tubers and I agree.
Gladiolus has corms which makes more corms as they age.
Cyclamen tubers grow in diameter but never produce offsets. |
