How to grow Ranunculus

temperature

Anemone likes a cool semi-shady environment. It cannot tolerate severe cold and is afraid of extreme heat. A mild climate is suitable for its growth. The most suitable temperature for its growth is about 20℃ during the day and about 8℃ at night, and the temperature difference between day and night should not be too large. In most parts of our country, the summer is hot and humid, and such a high temperature environment will cause it to enter a dormant period.

Moisture

This flower is not very adaptable to water. It is afraid of humidity and does not like drought. When planting, pay attention to good soil drainage and water appropriately, not too wet or too dry. Especially in the later stages, if it is too dry it will go dormant and the condition of the bulbs will deteriorate. The first watering after planting should be sufficient, and subsequent watering should be done in a timely manner and attention should be paid to balancing the amount of water. The method to judge the amount of water is also very simple. If the surface of the soil is dry and the leaves of the anemone are still fresh and not wilted, it is the best state.

soil

The choice of soil is very important. The most suitable soil is neutral or slightly alkaline soil. Loose soil is conducive to drainage and ventilation. If it is a potted anemone, it is best to cultivate it in sandy soil with a high humus content. This soil is nutrient-rich, loose and breathable, which is conducive to the rooting and development of anemones.

illumination

This flower does not like strong sunlight, but relatively speaking it is a long-day plant, so it cannot lack sunlight. It grows best in a sparsely shaded environment.

As the sunlight gradually increases in spring, it is necessary to provide proper shade to avoid sunburn; however, in winter, the daylight duration is short, so it is necessary to provide sufficient sunlight to ensure the daylight duration.

Long-term illumination can bring forward the flowering period and promote differentiation and formation of bulbs; short illumination periods will delay the flowering period, but can increase the number of side buds and flowers accordingly. Therefore, by adjusting the length of light exposure, you can control the quality of anthuriums and adjust the timing of flowering.

Fertilization

When cultivating anemones, urea can be used as the main fertilizer in the early growth stage. After the flowering period, one or two applications of liquid fertilizer containing potassium should be made. In the later growth stage, more compound fertilizers should be used, especially in winter. It is best to apply fertilizers containing nitrate nitrogen once a week.
