Ranunculus sceleratus aka Celery Buttercup

Celery Buttercup grows vertically and new growth emerges from the top of the plant.

Celery Buttercup’s native range is Europe, including Britain, mainly in northern and central areas..

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

When growing Celery Buttercup, it is important to pay attention to the soil type you are using. This plant is very sensitive to dry soil and needs a potting soil that retains moisture. A good soil should still be well-draining and contain lots of organic matter. Coco coir or sphagnum moss are great options to provide the Celery Leaf Buttercup with the nutrients and moisture it needs. The added organic matter will also help the soil retain water and prevent the Celery Buttercup from drying out too quickly. Before planting, make sure to mix compost or manure into the soil for extra nutrients. Also, make sure to water the Celery Leaf Crowfoot regularly, making sure to keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. With the correct soil and watering regimen, the Celery Buttercup will thrive and bring lots of beauty to your home.

To ensure optimal growth, the Celery Buttercup 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 Celery Buttercup should be repotted either when it doubles in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing new potting soil with all the vital nutrients annually is enough to support the growth of the plant, and thus, there is no need for fertilizer. Remember that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
