Quick Cyclamen question

Hi,
I Have a quick question for you knowledgable people.

I have bought a mini Cyclamen plant as a gift for a relative as a houseplant.
When I got it home I noticed the label says it is an "Outdoor Cyclamen"
Will this still survive indoors?

    Yes, but it may get leggy and be unhappy, the "mini" sort are self seeders in woodlands, maybe they could enjoy it indoors for a while & plant out later to enjoy in spring for years to come?

    For indoors you would need the large flowered ones ideally

    The mini ones are lovely as house plants. We've had some that flowered continuously for months.

    When they finish flowering, plant them up outside and enjoy the outdoor flowers every year.

    Thank you so much for your replies.
    I must admit I am clueless about these things, but the plant looked so lovely I bought it without thinking!

    Again, thanks for putting my mind at rest.
