Ranunculus bulbs should be planted in sandy soil that is well-drained, ideally with a slightly acidic composition. Prior to planting, immerse the ranunculus bulbs in warm water for a duration of 3-4 hours. When placing the claw-shaped bulbs in the ground, ensure that the "claws" face downward. Ranunculus thrives in environments with cool evenings and moderately sunny days. Optimal growth occurs when the soil surrounding the bulbs of the ranunculus mix remains dry, while ensuring the roots remain adequately moist. It is important to avoid excessive watering.
