For me self sowing happens when I don't remove the seeds. Someone said
that ants disperse the seeds. In my Northern California garden
Cyclamen are popping up in places near and far to where original
plants occur. I have lot of different species appearing. Cyclamen
repandum is especially happy and can flower quickly from tiny tubers.
I removed a tiny one starting to flower in a Zantedeschia pot I had
moved under cover for the winter. I'm not sure how it got there. We
have moderate summer temperatures winter and summer, but not plenty of
moisture during the summer. It's very dry here usually starting some
time in May until October and usually no rain at all in July and
August. The last couple of years we could only water 10 minutes twice
a week evening or early morning during the summer and since we have a
lot of trees with roots that go after the water, that amount of water
doesn't get the soil wet. Cyclamen leaves are appearing in places that
didn't get any water (pathways.) So at least here plenty of moisture
is not a requirement.
