Growing Tips

To grow a petunia, use seeds and a flower container.

Plant seeds 10-12 weeks before the last frost in spring:

• Sprinkle the seeds of the plant on moist soil; do not submerge them in the ground.
• Cover the container with transparent material to keep warm.
• Place the container in a warm place, but not in direct sunlight.
• As a rule, petunias begin to germinate in 10 days. As soon as you see small plants, plant them in a pot or open ground.

Care rules

Light

Choose a well-lit garden area. Petunias need at least 5-6 hours of sunlight per day.

Water

Petunias do not grow in too dry or wet soil.

Therefore, water the plant sparingly.

Fertilizer

Use liquid fertilizer or compost every 14 days.

However, each variety of petunia has its own characteristics for care.

Pruning and transplanting

Pruning is necessary for the plant to stimulate growth.

Therefore, do not forget to trim the flower.

To make the plant less stressed, transplant the petunia to a cool place.

Then move the pot to a sunny spot.
