Hello. I wonder for how long I'm supposed to leave my cyclamen in the water bowl? Are we talking a few minutes or hours? Thanks!
It will take more than a few minutes for the soil to soak up the water. Stick your finger in the soil to see if it feels moist. When it does remove it from the water bowl and let it dry before watering again. I think you may need a wider water bowl for the cyclamen on the right. This article may help you

I'm in the hospital and was given a cyclamen plant. It's not doing very well. It's foliage is drooping, some stems have rotted & blooms have fallen off. I have it in the window but the air conditioning vent is nearby. I read your info & I although I haven't over watered, according to your directions, I have watered incorrectly. Is there anything that I can do to save my (once beautiful) plant?
The best thing to do at this point will be to wait until it is almost completely dry on top of the soil, down to about 2 inches. Taking too long to dry out is the most common cause of this. Make sure that you can keep the room cool, too.
If they will spot you some peroxide, then a little bit of that mixed in with your water (not exceeding 1/4 the amount of water) and water with this next time, this can combat any diseases setting in.
Most importantly, make sure that there is a way to get rid of any extra water from the watering.
I have a cyclamen plant that bloomed during this summer. How do I care for it now that it is "out of season" cycle? I am not able to plant it outside in Summer.
There are many different types of cyclamen, and it would be necessary to know the cultivar to give the best advice on their care.

How do I divide a cyclamen tuber. When should this be done?
Here is an article that takes you through the steps to dividing your cyclamen. Follow instructions exactly. You will need a sharp chef's knife if it is large. In pre-internet days, I tried to divide mine and lost both tubers to rot. I hope you have better success; at least you have better information than I did. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/cyclamen/cyclamen-plant-division.htm
I was just given 2 Cyclamens for my Birthday and the one is developing more and more yellow leaves plus they came with a ton of little bugs that I believe are called Ghost Ants or Spring Tails. I looked up a home made spray of dish soap, alcohol, and water sprayed them and the bugs died. I set the plants to drain so they would not remain wet too long. They are in a window getting filtered late day sun. Temps in my room are about 75 degrees. What do I need to change. Thank You
The first thing I would suggest is using a pest control that will be less taxing on the plant's system. Neem oil, rosemary oil, and garlic extract are all really good methods. This collection of articles will help here: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/organic/

I live in the North of England. My hardy cyclamen are about four years old and are healthy,vigorous and spreading.They have been a lovely splash of colour in the autumn and spring. However, these past two years there has been no flowers.. What can Ido to to encourage them to flower, should I split them?
Dear Sir/Madam, I have done it before - cut my cyclamen tuber in half , planted both parts separately and eventually it worked and I had flowers during one year approximately.. my suggestion is , if you really love cyclamens you would go better with seeds, I have seen remarkable results in Internet , ladies have hundreds of them, it takes one year from the start as far as I remember.. you can find further information how to do it , sure.. Hope it helped :)
