cyclamen

I think I haven't done right by my Cyclamen again.
I thought it would put itself into dormancy and die back entirely, but it never really did. It has kept growing with a new flush of young leaves, but it's very leggy. I've tried relocating it with no improvement. Did some more reading and it seems I should have forced it to go dormant by witholding water until it died back all the way, then watered it regrow. Supposedly it won't flower well if not made to go through the dry spell. But I see the leaves curling again. Think it needs a water/light adjustment. I checked and there are no mites (thank god).
