Petunia is a type of flowering plant that belongs to the family of nightshades. There are 35 species of petunia that originate from South America. Petunias are low-growing, bushy to spreading tender perennials usually grown as annuals. Their soft, thick leaves are slightly sticky to the touch. Trumpet-shaped flowers have a single set of plain-edged petals, or can be doubled, ruffled, or fringed and come in colours from light pink through dark red, and pale blue through deep purple. Petunia cultivates in areas that provide at least 5 to 6 hours of sun per day, on well-drained, fertile soil. It doesn't tolerate frost. Petunias are cultivated because of their ornamental flowers that are available in a variety of colours and shapes. Whether in hanging baskets or containers on tables or a front porch, growing petunias in pots brings out vibrant colour throughout the summer to whatever area you choose.
Planting instructions
Soil should be collected in a garden pot mixed with well-rotted cow dung or manure. Broadcast the seeds over the soil bed and cover it with a very thin layer of sieved sand to allow germination.
Do not cover the seeds too densely since petunia seeds require light to germinate. Maintain a distance of 8 to 12 inches between plants. Sprinkle little water and then as per requirement keeping the soil moist.
Germination should occur within 20 to 25 days depending on temperature and humidity.
Growing Requirements
Pests
Fungus in wet soil can attack petunia plants and cause the leaves to turn brown. It can also cause crown or root rot resulting in the death of the plant. Ensure cleanliness in the potting area by turning over the soil a number of times before sowing. Maintain an early in the day watering schedule.
soil
Light, moderately fertile soil with good drainage and an acidic pH ranging between 6 to 7 is ideal for growing petunias.
spot
Petunia prefers partial to full sun to bloom. However, some shade is recommended to save them from direct heat.
temperature
Ideal germination temperature for Petunias should range between 22 to 30 °C
watering
If you are growing petunias in garden beds, deep watering once a week would suffice. However, in case you are growing them in containers, check the soil moisture every day to ensure there is proper drainage.
how to harvest
Petunias make for great ground cover or hanging basket flowers due to their ample blooms. The shallow roots of petunia plants can dry out very quickly. Thus, it is important to keep checking for soil moisture often. Remove dead flowers to prolong the blooming period.
