1. Understand what you’re working with

Ranunculus seeds are tiny and slow — they can take 20–30 days to germinate.

They’re often grown as cool-season annuals in warm climates.

2. Prepare your seed starting mix

Use a fine, well-draining seed-starting mix — peat or cocopeat with perlite/vermiculite works best.

Avoid rich compost at this stage — seedlings like a light, airy start.

Pre-moisten so it’s evenly damp.

—

3. Fill and level your trays

Use shallow seed trays or plug trays.

Lightly press the mix to make a smooth surface but don’t compact too much.

—

4. Sow the seeds

Sprinkle seeds thinly on the surface.

Light requirement: Ranunculus seeds need light to germinate, so do not bury them deeply.

Just press them gently into the surface so they have good contact.

—

5. Cover very lightly

You can sift a fine layer of vermiculite over them — just enough to protect from drying out but still let light through.

—

6. Water gently

Mist with a spray bottle.

Avoid splashing or heavy watering — seeds can wash away.

—

7. Provide ideal germination conditions

Temperature: 10–15 °C (50–59 °F) — cooler than most seeds.

Light: Bright, indirect light (or grow lights set low intensity).

Humidity: Cover trays with a clear humidity dome or plastic wrap to keep moisture in.

Vent daily to prevent mold.

—

8. Germination time

Expect 2–4 weeks before you see sprouts.

Once seedlings appear, remove the cover and move to bright light.

—

9. Care for seedlings

Keep at cool temperatures (10–15 °C / 50–59 °F).

Water lightly and regularly — don’t let them dry completely, but avoid sogginess.

Start feeding with a diluted liquid fertilizer once they have a few true leaves.

—

10. Transplanting

When seedlings have 4–5 true leaves and are sturdy, harden them off by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.

Plant in full sun in rich, well-drained soil.

Space 15–20 cm (6–8 inches) apart.
