🌸 When to Plant Ranunculus Seeds in India

Ranunculus grows best in cool weather.

Ideal growing season in India:

• Late fall, winter, and early spring
  
• October to February
  

⚠️ Avoid sowing during hot summers and protect plants from heavy monsoon rains, as excess heat and moisture can damage seedlings.

🌱 How to Grow Ranunculus Flowers from Seeds

• Sow seeds in seedling trays or small pots first
  
• Transplant seedlings into larger pots when temperatures are 12–16°C
  
• Use a pot or grow bag of at least 30–35 cm diameter
  

This method ensures healthy root development and better flowering.

🌿 Ranunculus Mix Seeds – Sowing Method

1. Fill a seedling tray or small pot with well-draining potting mix
   
   (Recommended mix: 20% cocopeat + 30% vermicompost + 30% garden soil + 20% sand or perlite)
   
2. Spread the ranunculus seeds evenly on the soil surface
   
3. Since seeds are small and have low germination rate, sow extra seeds
   
4. Cover lightly with a thin layer of soil
   
5. Place the tray in full sunlight
   
6. Keep soil consistently moist, not waterlogged
   

⏳ Seeds usually germinate within 16–30 days.

🌼 Transplanting Seedlings

• Transplant when seedlings develop a few true leaves
  
• Plant 4–5 seedlings per 30 cm pot
  
• Do not bury the crown too deep (to avoid crown rot)
  
• After transplanting:
  Keep pots in partial shade for 2–3 days
  Maintain moist soil
  Move to full sun after 3 days
  

🌿 Ranunculus Fertilizer Requirements

Ranunculus does not require heavy feeding.

• Apply liquid fertilizer every few weeks once plants are established
  
• Suitable fertilizers include:
  Plant growth promoter
  Bio NPK fertilizer
  Mustard cake liquid
  

Avoid over-fertilizing.
