Ranunculus reptans aka Creeping Spearwort

Creeping Spearwort’s native range is Northern and central Europe, including Britain.

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

Creeping Spearwort is very sensitive to dry soil. To ensure your Greater Creeping Spearwort 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 Greater Creeping Spearwort 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 Spearwort with a well-draining, moisture-retaining soil, you can help to maximize its growth and keep it blooming.

To ensure optimal growth, the Creeping Spearwort prefers bright diffused 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.

The Creeping Spearwort should be repotted when it has doubled in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing fresh potting soil with all the essential nutrients each year ensures the plant's well-being, eliminating the need for fertilizer. Remember, plants derive their energy from the sun and not fertilizer.
