FAQ about Ranunculus – Classic

What kind of soil suits ranunculus best?
Ranunculus thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. The soil must not be compacted or clayey, as standing water rots the claw-like tubers. Soak the tubers for a few hours before planting with the claws pointing downwards.
How often should ranunculus be watered?
Water regularly but moderately so that the soil stays lightly moist. Avoid overwatering, as the tubers are prone to rot. Water more during flowering and in warm weather.
How long do cut ranunculus last?
Cut ranunculus last about seven to ten days, often longer than expected. Cut them when the buds show colour and feel soft, recut the stems and use cool water, changing it every other day.
Which pests and diseases can affect ranunculus?
Aphids, thrips and red spider mite can appear, especially in warm, dry weather. Rot is the most common problem and is usually caused by too much moisture. Improve drainage and check the plants regularly.
How do ranunculus overwinter?
Ranunculus is not frost-hardy. In mild, sheltered gardens the tubers can stay in the ground under a protective mulch. In cold, exposed gardens, lift them once the foliage has withered, let them dry for a few weeks and store them in dry sand or compost in a cool, frost-free place.
