How to Plant Ranunculus Seeds

How to Plant Ranunculus Seeds

Germination time and temperature

Ranunculus can be sown in autumn. It is usually chosen in September, while in the northern regions with lower temperatures, August can be chosen.

Ranunculus seeds are not suitable for germination in a climate above 20℃, so you can generally choose to sow them in late autumn.

The best germination temperature for its seeds is 5℃~15℃. Pay attention to temperature regulation when sowing to give the seeds a good germination temperature.

Seed treatment

The germination rate of seeds that have been germinated is much higher than that of seeds that have not been germinated. Therefore, it is best to germinate the seeds before planting to improve their germination ability.

Specifically, the germination treatment is to dry the seeds, evaporate the water, and then place them in a closed and low-temperature environment for a period of time. The so-called low temperature refers to -1℃~5℃, which cannot be too low, otherwise the seeds will be frozen.

Soil selection

Ranunculus prefers a relatively humid growing environment, which requires the cultivation soil used to have a certain water retention capacity and can remain dry for a period of time after watering.

Seeds need nutrients to grow after germination, which requires that the cultivation soil used has a certain degree of fertility to ensure that it can meet the growth of seedlings.

The germination of seeds requires a certain amount of air support, which requires that the cultivation soil used should not be too dense and should have certain gaps for smooth air circulation.

Planting method

Choose a flower pot of moderate size and sprinkle a layer of small stones on the bottom of the pot to increase the moisture retention capacity of the growing soil.

Pour the prepared growing soil into the flowerpot and smooth it out slowly with a shovel.

Then spread the germinated seeds on the soil surface, making sure to spread them evenly and keep the seed spacing moderate.

Cover the seeds with a thin layer of growing soil. At this time, it is important to note that the thickness of the culture soil should not be too thick, otherwise it will increase the difficulty of the seeds breaking through the soil and affect the normal germination of the seeds.

Finally, you need to pour some water into the flowerpot to ensure that the culture soil is moist and provide a suitable environment for the seeds to germinate.
