It is because of the rustic and ordinary name of the buttercup, many people ignore the appearance of the buttercup. You should know that the flowers of the buttercup are very similar to peonies, so they are also called foreign peonies.
Introduction to the buttercup

The natural flowering period of buttercup is from April to May in spring. The plant shape is small and is very suitable for potted plants. It can also be made into cut flowers. It is a common ornamental potted plant and fresh cut flowers material.
flower buttercup is perennial perennial flower . It likes a cool environment, likes light and is not resistant to exposure to the sun, and has small rhizomes underground, which grow like claws. Therefore, underground rhizomes are also called claws, and reproduction is mostly divided and sowed. Buttercup is very beautiful, so how should it be maintained?
Care methods and precautions for flower buttercup
When planting flower buttercup in the family, Blue Demon recommends that you buy small rhizomes (the claws of flower buttercup) to plant. The early management of flowering is simple, and the relative maintenance cycle will be much longer if sowing. The planting time of buttercup paws depends on the temperature. Most areas can be planted at the end of September and early November. The southern areas are delayed to the high temperature and will be planted below 30 degrees. If you plant indoor potted plants in northern areas, you can plant them in advance. If you plant outdoors, it is recommended to plant them in early spring, otherwise the cold winter will be frozen.
Before planting the buttercup claw, there is a very important germination operation. First germination and then planting can greatly improve the survival rate of the planting. This is how the blue demon germinates the buttercup. You can make a reference.
flower buttercup germination method
flower buttercup claws are in dormant period in summer. Flower lovers usually get shriveled when they receive it. Don’t worry. Before planting, soak in clean water or in wormwood solution for about 30 minutes, so that the buttercup claws can absorb enough water, expand and become full, and then take it out and dry the excess water.
While soaking the buttercup paws, you can prepare some pure vermiculite or pure perlite , soak it in water, and drain the excess water. If there is no vermiculite or perlite, it can also be replaced by river sand, or if it is mixed with peat soil and water, it can also be used to germinate the buttercup claws.
Use a disposable lunch box, lay a layer of treated precious stones on the bottom, and then place the soaked buttercup claws on it, be careful not to put it backwards, the bald one is facing upwards, and the sharp ones are facing downwards. Then cover it with a layer of perlite and cover it with 2/3 of its claws. Then place it in the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator to germinate.
Normally, you can see the buttercup claws sprouting in about 7 days. While waiting for germination, if the perlite is very dry, spray some water to replenish the water, but do not let water accumulate at the bottom of the box. After the buttercup claws such as
sprout, they can be transplanted into the flower pot.
Buttercup maintenance methods and precautions
Buttercup paws can be transplanted and planted after the claws sprout. Generally, 1-2 flower pots can be planted for about 15cm, and 3 flower pots can be planted for about 20cm.
1. Potted soil
buttercups like well-drained sandy soil. The claws of buttercups will rot in a water-stabilized environment. When potting, try to use loose and breathable soil as much as possible. You can use general nutrient soil and add 1/5 of the granular soil. When planting, you can add some fermented organic fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer and bone meal as base fertilizer.
does not need to be planted very deeply, just cover the buttercup's claws completely. After planting, water it thoroughly, then place it in a cool and ventilated place to wait for the buds to break through the soil and grow leaves. No need to water it again before the buds break through the soil. After the leaves grow, water it normally.
2, fertilizer and water management
Daily maintenance and watering should be thoroughly dried. If the surface of the pot soil is 2cm deep, it should be watered. In the early stage, it is mainly for leaf growth. Fertilization is mainly for growth of general fertilizers. Huaduoduo No. 1, general water-soluble fertilizer , compound fertilizer, etc. It is recommended to keep fertilizer and water applied every 7 days.
When the buttercup is fed with moss, it means it is about to bloom. At this time, you should use phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote flowering, and apply Huaduoduo No. 2 or potassium dihydrogen phosphate fertilizer once every 25-7 days.
3, Light and Temperature Control
buttercup is a light-loving but not resistant to strong light. It can maintain sufficient light in autumn, winter and early spring, allowing the buttercup to grow short. In spring, as the light intensity increases, the light should be reduced appropriately or placed in bright scattered light for maintenance.
Buttercup likes a cool climate and can withstand low temperatures of -5 degrees in winter, so in areas above -5 degrees, you can overwinter outdoors. It is recommended to enter the room to overwinter, and it can remain above 5 degrees in winter, and the buttercup can bloom in advance.
4. Method for summer
Flower buttercup blooms in spring, the ground will gradually wither and enter the dormant period. Therefore, after the flowers in spring are broken, you can first cut off the remaining flowers, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote the expansion of the underground claws. When the nutrients from the branches and leaves flow back into the claws, and after the ground wither, dig out the claws, put them in a cool and ventilated place to dry, and then hang them in the net pocket to keep them ventilated and stored. Wait until the fall to germinate and replant again.
