Ranunculus Care Tips

Ranunculus Care Tips for Growers

For growers, ensuring high-quality Ranunculus starts with the right post-harvest treatments. Hydration is key to maximizing vase life, and using Chrysal BVB and/or Chrysal RVB Clear Intensive can significantly enhance water absorption. Chrysal RVB Clear Intensive stimulates water uptake, thus preventing 'bent neck,' a common issue with flowers. It also lowers the pH of the water, maintains flower quality, and prolongs vase life. This treatment mixes clearly in water without leaving residue, reducing the risk of leaf scorching or drop, allowing for a longer treatment time.

Chrysal BVB is another effective solution, especially for bulb flowers. It improves bud opening, maintains the quality of flowers and leaves, and prevents leaf yellowing. By using Chrysal BVB post-harvest, growers can ensure that their Ranunculus blooms open fully, have firm, green leaves, and exhibit a significantly prolonged vase life.

Additionally, incorporating Chrysal CVBN can further extend the vase life by minimizing bacterial growth and ensuring optimal hydration.

Ranunculus Care Tips at the Florist

Florists can maximize the beauty and vase life of Ranunculus by following a few essential steps. Start by thoroughly cleaning all buckets, vases, and tools with Chrysal Professional Cleaner to eliminate bacterial growth and ensure a sanitary workspace. Once the flowers arrive, use Chrysal Professional 2 to condition them. This solution provides the flowers with essential nutrients while slowing premature blooming, allowing for better inventory management.

Ranunculus stems are naturally hollow and can be prone to bending. To prevent this, store them upright in clean water and avoid overcrowding, which can lead to bruising.

When selling Ranunculus, offer customers Chrysal flower food, which significantly extends vase life and enhances bloom performance.

• Avoid placing Ranunculus in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in a drafty location.

By following these expert care tips, Ranunculus flowers will remain fresh and beautiful, allowing customers to enjoy their exquisite charm for longer. Whether used in wedding bouquets, event arrangements, or home decor, this delicate bloom is a stunning choice that flourishes with the right care.
