Ranunculus Butterfly™

Ranunculus Butterfly™

The Ranunculus Butterfly™ are delicate spring flowers, that carry numerous blooms at various stages in each steam. The fluttery petals, that are reminiscent of butterfly wings, have a thin layer of wax that glisten in the sunlight. These flowers come in a variety of shades and have a boho-style vibe!

Ranunculus are not safe for human or animal consumption.

Keep out of direct sunlight.

Water Place in a clean vase filled two-thirds with fresh water. Change water about every 2-3 days and add “plant food” to help preserve flowers.
Temperature To preserve the vitality of the flowers, place in a cool area. Keep away from heat or drafts.
  • Why is it called “Ranunculus”? In the wild, some Ranunculus species grow in wet habitats. The name “Ranunculus” is derived from the Latin word for “little frog” which is a reference to these growing conditions.  
  • Fill a clean vase two-thirds with cold water. City treated water is perfect, as it has some good sanitizing qualities that work very well to keep water clean.
  • When preparing “flower food” for your vase you may want to use a small amount of warm water to dissolve this food well, than mix into vase before adding cold water.
  • Use a sterile knife or sharp scissors (be careful) to trim about one inch off from the bottom of each stem at a 45° angle—it will make it easier for your Ranunculus to slurp up all that tasty water. Do not use a dull cutting tool as you may accidentally squish the cells at the end of the stem, preventing water uptake.
  • Remove all excess foliage that would rest below the vase’s waterline, as the leaves can introduce potentially harmful bacteria to the water. Keep all other leaves on!
  • Carefully drop the Ranunculus flowers in and arrange how you see fit—just make sure they have adequate support and room to bloom.
  • Help preserve the flowers by changing the water about every 2-3 day. During this time you should also re-trim your stems and add a new packet of “plant food”.
  • Keep flowers away from ripening fruits or vegetables. Ripening fruit gives off ethylene gas which will reduce your flower vase life.
  • The Ranunculus Butterfly™ can carry about 12-15 blooms on each stem, therefore allowing for a long-lasting vase life.
