What can you tell me about caring for a cyclamen plant indoors?

Asked by ANef_is_Enuf (26839points) August 7th, 2017

I received a cyclamen flower as a gift this week and I have never had one before. I was reading about their care and it says that they like cool temperatures (<70F) and will bloom in winter and go through a period of dormancy in warmer weather. However, it is the beginning of August and I have received a blooming plant. At this time of year, my home is typically 75–76F. From what I have read, this plant should technically be dormant right now. What do I do with it? Will it flower again in the wintertime?
