In addition, you have the option to plant a tree when you place an order through Regreener.

Growing Ranunculus
The tubers of ranunculus resemble spiders. You can pull them forward in the fall depending on your needs and transplant them in late winter for early flowering, or transplant them in early spring for later flowering. Because ranunculus cannot stand frost, it is necessary to plant them in a tunnel greenhouse when you put them in the ground as early as fall or late winter. If you plant them out in spring, you can do so outdoors. Always soak the tubers in lukewarm water for a few hours so they can soak up moisture again. Put the tubers with the 'tentacles' down in a P9 pot and put them inside in the windowsill or greenhouse. Once a plant about 10 - 15 cm tall has grown, they can be moved outside or into the greenhouse, provided it is no longer freezing. Keep a distance of 20 cm between each plant. Give the soil in which they stand a generous portion of compost and/or organic manure, they like a lot of nutrition in the soil. You can also put the tubers directly into the open ground after pre-soaking, and they will flower a few weeks later. Keep a planting depth of 10 cm. You can store the tubers very well, if you don't catch them in time they can be stored for next season.

Bloom
Ranunculus can be seen blooming as early as May if you planted them in the fall, but otherwise they bloom around June or July. The plants produce multiple stems of flowers and also grow back. Pick the flowers when the bud begins to show color. Remember that the stems are hollow and therefore break quickly if you harvest them too late.

Which is what?

Bulb is a collective term for plants that grow from a soft bulb.

Naturalising bulbs - These are bulbs that naturalize very easily, meaning they can spread and come back every year. Plants also belong to this collective term, but bulbs that belong to it include crocuses and snowdrops.

Rhizome - among other things, wood anemones grow from a rhizome, which looks very different from a bulb.

Tuber - dahlias, gladioli and ranunculus grow from a tuber, large or small. Dahlia tubers look a little like potatoes.

How many hours of sunshine?

For each bulb variety, the best location is listed. Full sun means more than 6 hours of sun per day (in summer). Semi-shade is about 4 - 6 hours of sun per day, and shade is about 2 hours of sun per day.

What soil?

In general, flower bulbs grow best in somewhat heavier soil that doesn't dry out in the summer, but where the water doesn't stay in the winter either. A few bulb species can handle wetness very well, including Leucojum (summer snowflake) and Fritillaria (fritillary), but most will rot in wet soil.

Bulbs need plenty of nutrition available to them. In spring, preferably give the areas where bulbs are located a generous layer of compost.

Do you garden on very light soil? If so, add a handful of bentonite (clay minerals) when planting bulbs. This helps retain moisture and nutrition better and gives you better results.

Bulbs for cutting

Flower bulbs are perfect for cutting for a vase. Want to be able to harvest a lot? Then plant lots of bulbs, too, because most varieties yield only 1 stem per bulb.

Are you making a special compartment for bulbs where you plan to plant other annuals later? Then treat narcissi and tulips as annuals and remove them from the ground as soon as you pick them. Want to leave them in the soil? Then cut the stem above the last leaf. That leaf is needed to send nutrition to the bulb for the next season.
