Pre-Sprout Ranunculus

Pre-sprout ranunculus by soaking the corms for 3-4 hours in warm water. Let the faucet drip on them or stir them around every 30 minutes to aerate the water. After soaking they can be planted directly in the ground or pre-sprouted. The benefit of pre-sprouting is they will bloom a few weeks earlier. Fill a tray halfway with moist potting soiling. Line the tray with the corms and cover with soil. Leave in a cool place between 40 to 59 degrees for 10-14 days. Once roots appear it’s time to plant them in the garden. #ranunculus #cutflowers #smokymountainfarmhouse
