Ranunculus Flower Drooping. I planted 4 ranunculus bulbs in a 3 inch plastic pot 10 weeks ago. Like most bulb or tuberous plants too saturated a soil can be a real killer.
The lower leaves on the plant will start to yellow and turn brown at the base of the plant. Cut off the stems of your ranunculus plant for use as cut flowers and dig up the tubers with a small trowel when the blooms to fade and start to droop. In warm climates zones 8-10 the corms are planted in the fall so they bloom in late winter or early spring.
If new leaves are yellow with green veins.
Our long lasting bouquets wont arrive droopy like the supermarket flower hacks. This particular inpatiens is supposed to be a shade-lover but its definitely thriving in the full sun. In an ideal climate like Carlsbad CA you would plant the rhizome in late fall and it would put out roots and then leaves from December - February and then bloom in March or April. Youll start to see floral growth within 90 days of planting.
