    You most likely purchased a tropical Cyclamen for an indoor location.
    Cyclamen do like a cool temperature and sometimes the indoor temperatures are to much for the plant.
    Yellowing leaves can indicate watering issues, to much or to little.
    The soil should be damp but not soggy. You should not water into the crown of the plant as this can cause the plant crown to rot.
    Remove the spent flowers to encourage more blooms.
    Do not repot the plant.

    A cool location is important to the health of a Cyclamen. A good trick is to enjoy the plant on a table during the day, away from direct sunlight and then tuck it into a cool room for the evening.

    I'm sorry to say your Cyclamen looks to have died.

    Watering of this plant should only be when the soil has dried out and care should be taken to water around the edges and not directly into the crown of the plant.
    Too much water can lead to root rot.
    Cyclamen also need a cool growing environment.

    Choose a pot that is the correct size to the tuber. You should be able to spread out the roots a bit. Plan for 4 inches of soil below the tuber and 1 inch of soil on top.
    Use a good quality potting soil mix.
    Make sure you plant the tuber with the top side up. The top is usually rough, bumpy or has small nodules. The bottom is round and smooth.
    Keep soil moist by water from below. Do not water down the center of the pot, as the tuber will rot.
    Keep in a bright and cool location.
