How to deal with ranunculus after flowering

Care after flowering

1. During flowering, the temperature can be maintained at around 15 degrees, which can effectively extend the flowering period. When the flowers begin to wither, they should be cut off in time to avoid wasting too much nutrients.

2. The soil should not be too moist at this time, so control watering.

3. Fertilize once or twice after the flowers fade to make the bulbs grow stronger and reproduce the next generation.

Post-flowering treatment

After the flowering period, the above-ground part of the plant will all wither and it is time to harvest the underground roots. The root mass in the ground can be used to continue propagating the plant.

The first treatment method: When the above-ground part is completely withered, stop watering, let the soil in the pot become drier, then move the flower pot to a cool place with good air circulation. If placed outdoors, be careful to avoid rain.

The roots can be dug out and replanted between September and October. This treatment method is very simple, but it also has a disadvantage, which is that it is easy to rot.

The second treatment method: After the flowering period, the leaves will slowly turn yellow. At this time, dig out the entire root tuber, rinse it clean and dry it in the sun. Then store it in a dry place without sunlight. If you plant them in autumn, don't worry if they become shriveled due to lack of water.
