Nils has a problem with botrytis on Cyclamen coum, and the first thing I'd do is repot into a fast-draining mix, then water from the bottom and maybe add about 1/4 dose of liquid fertilizer. The combination of damp soil, lack of air circulation, inside habitat, etc. are all probably contributing factors. I have a couple coum inside in a garden window facing west right now. They're only here while they flower and will go out again shortly. Few cyclamen like to be inside, especially the species. I have rolfsianum in this same garden window, and it's clear they are not getting enough light. I've not ever had botrytis on indoor cyclamen and always change potting soil the minute I buy one, florist's hybrid or not. Hope this helps. Coum do like more moisture so keep an eye on them; you can check the watering status by lifting the pot up. The lighter it is, the drier it is. As soon as you can, put the coum outside for more light and air circulation, even if it's only out during the day. Protect from freezing however in its weakened state.
