What Customers Say

Why Petunia Needs Specialized Nutrients

Petunias require specific nutrients such as nitrogen for leaf growth, phosphorus for root development, and potassium for flower production, maximizing petunia's beauty and longevity.

Watering

Water petunias deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, ensuring good drainage to prevent root rot.

Light

Place petunias in a location with full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily) for optimal growth and abundant blooms.

Soil

Use well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH (around 6.0-6.5) enriched with organic matter to promote healthy root development and nutrient uptake.

Additional Tips

Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.
