Bupleurum ranunculoides prefers moderate temperatures and indirect bright light. It thrives in environments with moderate humidity and should be watered when the soil partially dries out. The plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors, making it versatile for different settings.Soil
This plant prefers well-draining loam soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. A mix of garden soil with compost can provide the necessary nutrients.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, to support healthy growth and flowering.Repotting
Repot Bupleurum ranunculoides every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Propagation
