watering

Creeping buttercup should be watered once a week, using the "drench and drain" method. To drench and drain, water the soil thoroughly until it is saturated, then allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. During the hottest part of summer, you may need to water twice a week, but in all other circumstances once a week is sufficient.

sunlight

Creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) needs full sunlight for most of the day. During the spring and summer months, the plant should get at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight. During autumn and winter months however, the plant should recieve at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight. It may even tolerate a few hours of partial shade during the brighter parts of the day. However, the plant should not be in the shade for any extended periods of time and should recieve a good balance of sunlight and shade throughout the year.

pruning

Creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) should be pruned at least once a year to maintain its desired size and shape. Generally, pruning should take place in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Removing dead or damaged leaves and stems will encourage healthy growth and promote bloom production. Depending on the rate of growth for your specific plant, light pruning may be required during the summer months. When pruning and cutting back branches, aim to make cuts at a 45-degree angle and just above a node, where a bud is located. Cutting back the stems too short or neglecting to prune the plant can reduce its lifespan and impact its overall health.
