This year I decided to get rid of roses and peonies, growing only butterflies, the best flower for flower beds.

How incredible it looks. ranunculus. Or the butterflies that everyone knows. These beautiful plants have long conquered the heart of more than one connoisseur of flowers and took their place of honor on flower beds or house plots. Let's figure out the basic rules of care for these bright charmers. Perhaps this spring, the ranunculus will settle in your garden.



The Asian butterfly (which ranunculus) at one point became more popular than the peony and rose combined. This is because the flower is similar to both. Low-grown varieties of butterflies look great in kashpo. They can be placed on a windowsill or create a special floral composition on the street.

In addition, such ranunculus are ideal. for decoration of balconies, terraces, attics. They will organically fit into many whims of landscape designers and show themselves only from the best sides. At the same time, the tall butterflies are actively used for bride bouquets. Due to the visual similarity of the flower to the peon and rose, it is often chosen as the main target of all unmarried bridesmaids at the wedding.



Care and care It is best to place butterflies where always sunny. Areas of land that are at least partially shaded are unlikely to like the flower. They can develop much worse and do not bloom for a long time. It is also important that the ranunculus is not disturbed by strong wind, draft or unpleasant surprises in the form of frosts. This should be taken into account before planting flowers in open ground.

Not only people like butterflies, but also various pests. These are various insects like kale butterflies and nematode worms, and bacterial diseases of ranunculus. If the leaves of flowers suddenly covered with spots of brown or white color, mold formed on them, then it is necessary to treat the plant with special preparations.



Pay attention to the soil in which the ranunculus will be located. It is best if it is moderately moist, slightly acidic soil. It should be loose and enriched with humus. Before planting a ranunculus in open ground, take care of creating drainage at the bottom of each pit. Sand or stone crumb will do. And, of course, no weeds.



Planting and transplantation of butterflies With the landing of butterflies in the ground you need watch outBecause these plants are quite fragile. Each tuber is remotely similar to a spider, and sloppy behavior with a butterfly seedling can damage one of its “legs”. Which, of course, can lead to the death of this tuber.

Before planting the tubers of ranunculus in the soil, soak them in water with the addition of a few grams of growth stimulant for butterflies. If the flowers have increased in volume and straightened their legs, then they are of good quality and are fully ready for life in the open ground. Just don't delay landing butterflies on open ground. It is best to do this in May when the weather stabilizes. Make the flowers happy. grounded They were not affected by the temperature surprises.



In general, Asian buttercup does not require any special care and daily dances with a diamond near its flowerbed. It is enough to organize the optimal amount of irrigation for these flowers and occasionally loosen the soil of ranunculus. Water the flower often, but not excessively, because of this, it can begin to rot roots.



Don't forget fertilize. It is also necessary to carefully monitor the condition of the leaves of the buttercup. These beautiful flowers will not only be a joy for the eyes, but also a tasty piece for pests. Although if you notice the impudent in time, then ranunculus is not in danger. He will continue to charm with his extravaganza of color, beauty and tenderness.
