Watering is very essential in especially for the Ranunculus plants grown in pots and containers. Always water the tubers after planting at least once after 14 days and when the first set of leaves appear on your plant, try to water them sparingly until fall comes around.
Fertilizer application is very important to produce a gorgeous looking plant. You will need to apply a slow-release liquid fertilizer blend specifically designed for bulbs at least twice per month during the season of active growth. Ranunculus can suffer from iron and manganese deficiencies especially those growing in pots and containers. In this regard, use granular fertilizer or foliar fertilizer spray that contains iron and manganese.
High mountain members such as the Alpine buttercup (Ranunculus alpestris) prefer to grow in sunny locations on gritty, well drained soil. A mixture of coarse sand or grit, loam and leaf compost is a suitable substrate for the plants.
If your using a 6 inch pot, only plant 1 corm. For a continuous bloom, Ranunculus does best in temperatures between 1.5-10C (35-50F) at night and 15-24C (60-75F) in the day.
