Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your red ranunculus flower bulbs is relatively straightforward, ensuring a spectacular display of blooms with a little attention. Ranunculus thrive in locations that receive full sun to medium sun exposure, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. In hotter climates, some afternoon shade can be beneficial to prevent scorching and prolong bloom time. Adequate sunlight is crucial for the vigorous growth and abundant flowering of these ranunculus corms. Proper site selection is the first step to enjoying beautiful perennial ranunculus.

When it comes to watering, ranunculus prefer consistently moist but not waterlogged soil. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, especially during active growth and flowering periods. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases; instead, water at the base of the plant. Good drainage is paramount, as ranunculus corms are susceptible to rot in soggy conditions. Plant your red ranunculus flower bulbs in well-draining soil, such as a sandy loam with a neutral pH. Amending heavy clay soils with organic matter like compost or sand can significantly improve drainage. Fertilize lightly with a balanced, slow-release granular fertilizer at planting time, and then once more when buds begin to form. For common problems, watch out for aphids and powdery mildew; address these with appropriate organic or chemical treatments as needed. Proper care ensures your easy to grow ranunculus will flourish.
