Orange Butterfly Ranunculus

Orange Butterfly Ranunculus is a striking and vibrant flower that radiates warmth and energy, making it a standout choice for floral arrangements. With its bright, bold orange petals that fan out like the wings of a butterfly, this ranunculus variety exudes both elegance and playfulness. The petals are tightly layered at the center, creating a ruffled, almost frilled effect, which gives the bloom a textured, voluminous appearance. As the petals open outward, they form a delicate, fluttering shape reminiscent of a butterfly in mid-flight, adding a dynamic, whimsical quality to any bouquet or floral display. The rich orange hue of this ranunculus is both cheerful and sophisticated, offering a vibrant splash of color that evokes feelings of warmth, energy, and joy. It’s an ideal choice for autumn-themed arrangements, as well as for celebrations such as weddings, birthdays, or other special events. The bright orange tones can be paired with complementary colors like soft peach, blush pink, or deep burgundy to create a balanced and visually appealing design.

Flower Care Ranunculus:

Ranunculus are stunning with their layered petals and vibrant colors, but they can be delicate and require some extra attention to stay fresh. Here are some care tips to help you keep your cut ranunculus flowers looking beautiful for as long as possible.

1. Trim the Stems

• Cut at an Angle: Trim the stems about 1-2 inches from the bottom using sharp, clean scissors or a floral knife. Cut at a 45-degree angle to increase the surface area for water absorption.
• Underwater Cutting: If possible, cut the stems underwater to prevent air bubbles from entering the stems, which can block water absorption. Make sure to remove any rubber bands or plastic sleeves/paper around the bunches.

2. Remove Foliage Below Waterline

• Gently remove any leaves or foliage that will be submerged in the water. This helps prevent bacterial growth and keeps the water clean, which will extend the life of your flowers.

3. Place in Fresh Water

• Use a Clean Vase: Fill a clean vase with lukewarm water (not too hot or cold), as warm water helps the ranunculus hydrate more efficiently.
• Add Flower Food: If you have flower food, mix it into the water as instructed. Flower food provides essential nutrients and helps prevent bacterial growth. If you dont have flower food, just plain water will do the trick.

4. Keep the Water Fresh

• Change the water everyday to keep it clear and free of bacteria. Always trim the stems slightly when changing the water to maintain hydration.

5. Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat

• Keep your flowers in a cool, shaded spot, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts. Excessive heat can cause the flowers to wilt prematurely.

6. Maintain Proper Temperature

• Flowers thrive in temperatures between 65-72°F (18-22°C). Avoid placing them in cold drafts or near heating vents, as extreme temperatures can shorten their lifespan.

7. Re-cut the Stems if Needed

• If the flowers begin to droop or wilt prematurely, re-cut the stems by about 1 inch and place them back into fresh water. This can help improve water absorption and revive the flowers.
