Ranunculus repens aka Creeping Buttercup

Caring for Creeping Buttercup is a breeze, as it is highly adaptable and forgiving to minor neglect.

Creeping Buttercup should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Creeping Buttercup is very sensitive to dry soil. To ensure your Creeping Crowfoot is thriving and blooming, choose a potting soil that retains moisture. A good soil should still allow for adequate drainage and contain lots of organic matter. Coco coir or sphagnum moss are great soil additives that will help to retain moisture and provide your Creeping Buttercup with the nutrients it needs for healthy growth. Make sure to mix these soil additives into the potting soil before planting and water the soil thoroughly. By providing your Creeping Buttercup with a well-draining, moisture-retaining soil, you can help to maximize its growth and keep it blooming.

To ensure optimal growth, the Creeping Buttercup prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

There is no verified data on the toxicity of this plant in the records of Ploi. If any person, including yourself, a family member, or a pet, consume plant material with an uncertain toxicity level, it is advisable to seek the advice of a healthcare expert.

Repotting the Creeping Buttercup should be done either when it has doubled in size or on a yearly basis, whichever occurs sooner. Fresh potting soil with all the required nutrients, refreshed annually, will provide the plant with all the necessary sustenance, making the use of fertilizer unnecessary. Keep in mind that plants receive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.

Creeping Buttercup’s native range is Europe, including Britain, from Norway south and east to Spain, through Asia to China and Japan.
