Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season.

Reduce watering significantly once the foliage begins to yellow and die back, allowing the bulbs to dry out slightly during their dormancy period. Ensure good drainage to prevent bulb rot.

Remove spent flower stalks as they fade to prevent seed formation and direct energy back into the bulb. Once the foliage has yellowed and died back naturally after flowering, it can be cut back to the ground.

This indicates the plant is entering dormancy.

Ranunculus bullatus can be propagated by dividing the tubers in late summer or early autumn, just before replanting. Sow fresh seeds in autumn, as they require a period of cold stratification.

This method is generally slower than division.

Repot tubers in late summer or early autumn, when they are dormant. Use a well-draining potting mix. Ensure new growth points are facing upwards. Pot tubers approximately 5 cm deep and 10-15 cm apart in their containers.
