In this article, we will tell you how to grow a flower correctly.

How to plant petunia correctly

Spread the petunia seeds evenly on the surface of the soil. You can use a toothpick for this.

To make the seeds visible, you can put them on paper or a napkin.

Then cover the container with a transparent lid, glass or film. Place the change in a warm place until germination for 4-10 days.

Once the seedlings have grown and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them to your garden or containers.

Petunias thrive in well-drained, moderately fertile soil.

To do this, you need to find the highest point of growth on the stem and pinch it off or cut it with a knife.

You can place the removed shoots in a jar of water, as petunia quickly produces roots.

Or use peat tablets or a mixture of vermiculite and soil.

Petunias love the sun and require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Water them regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.

Feed your petunias with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every few weeks to encourage robust growth and abundant flowering.
Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids and diseases such as powdery mildew.
