🪴 How to Plant:

• Pre-Soak: Soak bulbs in water for 3 hours before planting.
• Pre-Sprout (Optional but Recommended):
  Place soaked bulbs in a shallow tray filled with lightly moist, sandy loam soil. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and keep in a warm location with no direct sunlight for 5–7 days, or until sprouts appear.
• Initial Growth: Once sprouted, lightly cover bulbs with additional soil and introduce indirect light.
• Transplanting: After approximately two weeks of sun exposure and continued growth, transplant bulbs outdoors.
• Planting Depth: 2 inches deep

Tip: Ranunculus thrive in cool weather — plant in early spring or fall depending on your region.

🌿 Maintenance:

• Watering: Water lightly until top growth emerges, then moderately during active growth. Always water at ground level to minimize fungal issues and flower discoloration.
• Fertilizer: Apply a well-balanced fertilizer in spring when growth first appears.
• Mulch: Maintain a light layer of mulch to keep soil cool and retain moisture, keeping mulch away from stems to prevent rot.
• Cut Flowers: Ideal for cutting gardens — straight stems, long vase life, and abundant blooms make ranunculus a florist favorite.
