cyclamen problem

Hi

I have a cyclamen which I kept outdoors all summer. I brought it indoors about a month ago and all the leaves are turning yellow. All the flowers have gone limp. It's kept moist.
Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Thanks, Mollyzone5
There is something that I'm not doing right.
When I first got it in the spring it was blooming like crazy. After a while in my house, it started dying. It got so bad that I threw it outside for the garbage but forgot about it. Quite a while later, I was going to get rid of it but it had started to revive. It was blooming wonderfully and had healthy green leaves all summer.
I'll check the web site.

The tubers from these are prone to rot if they are too moist.Then too it could just be going dormant,though it does seem a little early for this.If you go to fernlea flowers-cyclamen they have information on their web site on the care of these.Hope this helps,they are lovely plants but can be frustrating.
