Growing Information & Plant Care

• Planting Time: In North India, sow Ranunculus seeds in October-November; in South India, sow them in November-December for optimal growth during the cooler months before spring.
• Soil Preparation: Use well-drained, sandy or loamy soil enriched with organic matter like compost or manure.
• Sowing Depth: Sow seeds on the soil surface and gently press them in—do not cover, as they need light to germinate.
• Germination: Seedlings appear in 2-3 weeks.
• Transplanting: Once seedlings have four true leaves, transplant them into the garden or larger containers.
• Watering: Water regularly but avoid overwatering—ranunculus prefer moist but well-drained soil.
• Sunlight: Plant in an area that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight a day for best flowering.
• Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to promote continuous blooming throughout the season.
