Planting Instructions:
- Soil Preparation: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Amend the soil with compost or organic matter to improve fertility and drainage.
- Sowing: Sow seeds indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frost date. Sprinkle seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them down, but do not cover them with soil as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C).
- Transplanting: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Space plants 8-12 inches apart.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist until seeds germinate. Once established, water regularly, ensuring the soil stays evenly moist but not waterlogged.
- Care: Pinch back the growing tips of young plants to encourage bushier growth and more blooms.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 weeks to support healthy growth and abundant flowering.
Growing Tips:
- Light Requirements: Petunias thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
- Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent the plant from putting energy into seed production.
- Pest Control: Monitor for pests such as aphids and caterpillars. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.
- Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to help retain soil moisture and reduce weed growth.
