A Step-by-Step Guide from Hand Picked Nursery

Ranunculus are beloved for their layers of rose-like petals and bright spring colors. With our Hand Picked Nursery Ranunculus Grow Kit, you can grow these stunning blooms easily from home — even before spring arrives!

Each kit includes everything you need: pots, humidity domes, soil, sand, and healthy ranunculus bulbs (also known as tubers).

Follow these simple steps to get your flowers started and enjoy a colorful display come springtime.

🌱 Step 1: Soak the Bulbs

• Remove your ranunculus bulbs (tubers) from the bag and soak only the roots in a cup of water for 3–4 hours.
• This softens and rehydrates the bulbs so they’re ready to grow strong, healthy roots.

💡 Pro Tip: Don’t over-soak — wrinkled or mushy bulbs may rot. Pat the bulbs dry before planting.

🌿 Step 2: Prepare the Soil Mix

• Combine the provided bags of soil and sand until evenly blended.
• Fill each pot with about 2 inches of this mixture to create a well-draining base.

This blend mimics the loose, sandy soil that ranunculus prefer, preventing excess moisture around their roots.

🌷 Step 3: Plant the Bulbs

• Place each bulb claw side down (the “spidery” end) into the soil.
• Cover lightly so the top of the bulb remains partly exposed.
• This allows air circulation and helps prevent mold while the plant establishes.

If any bulbs start to show white fuzz or mold, remove them immediately to keep others healthy.

💧 Step 4: Add Humidity & Light

• Place the humidity dome over the pot to maintain moisture as the bulbs sprout.
• Only water when the soil feels dry to the touch — overwatering can lead to rot.
• Keep your pots in a bright window or under grow lights with good airflow.

💡 Pro Tip: Cool temperatures (around 50–60°F) encourage strong root growth before blooms appear.

🌼 Ongoing Care

• Water sparingly until you see green shoots emerge.
• Once leaves appear, gradually increase watering frequency.
• When plants are established, move them to a sunny location for best blooms.
• After flowering, let the foliage die back naturally before storing bulbs for next year.
