#persiancyclamen owners, how do you keep your cyclamen co...
Right now, it is too hot in my room for them, and outside is too cold for them. What do you do to keep them cool? My room temperature is around 70 or 75, and outside will remain really cold (like maybe 30-40-50°F) for the next few days. I know this plant likes temperatures around 50°, but everywhere I could put it is either too cold, too hot, or is the right temperature, but has too little light, etc.
This sad plant only has a total of one nearly fully green leaf, and the rest are yellow or dead. I fit a big plastic bag over the top to keep it cold, and I will water it with cold water. What is the best outcome here? What can I do?

Do you have a basement? Cellar? Closed-in patio, or whatever the little area between a front door and a gate or screen door are called? 😛 Only other spot I can think of would be right up close to a north-facing window. Of course, that's only if your windows are anything like the windows in my house (i.e. crappy, old, not very energy efficient lol). No direct sunlight either, so the temp right by the glass can be 10-15 degrees colder than the rest of the house.
@stephonicle I have a "partial" basement (2 sides are underground, 2 are above ground), and that might work! I gotta see if I can figure out its average room temperature. I also have a gap between a screen door and normal door, but that is the front door. The only north facing window I have is a skylight that tilts slightly toward that direction, but it's on the 3rd (and hottest) floor and isn't in any room (it's a hallway).
@Prentyce nice idea, I thought creating something similar to that (clear plastic container with some ice), but the ones that can fit it inside don't have a lid at all.
@LilRootedWitch i do have a cold garage, but I only have one grow light located in my room (I do have a very bright LED, but it most likely won't work as effectively as an actual grow light, plus it isnt automated and i will most likely forget to turn it off).
