Petunia does not grow into a lush ball. What is the reason? Soil. I can in no way force you to buy a certain soil. I can only recommend the one in which everything grows wonderfully for us. This is a loose, tasty soil based on high-moor peat. Pelgorsk peat substrate, Agrobalt or Klasmann. ⠀ Fertilizers. This can be a long-lasting nutritional supplement, put it in and forget about it, or constant feeding once a week under the root along with watering or on the leaf through a spray bottle. I have said a lot about them, if you haven't seen the video, watch it. ⠀ Good varieties. High-quality seeds and cuttings. There are a lot of good and worthy varieties. I am just preparing a series of posts for you on this topic and will be happy to share our developments and experience. ⠀ But it happens that you planted a good variety, and the soil is of high quality and fertilizing is done on time, but you can’t grow such a lush petunia. This means that something is wrong with the care. Let's look at common reasons. ⠀ 1. You only visit your dacha on weekends, and petunia loves attention. If you only come on weekends, it’s better to refuse to grow petunia. ⠀ 2. It’s hot outside, and you’re afraid that the petunia will dry out, and without waiting for the soil to dry out, you overwater the petunia. The roots stop breathing, taking in water and nutrition. And the petunia begins to wither. 3. Or vice versa, you dry it out and then overwater it. The petunia dries out, you start to sound the alarm, water it and overwater it. You overdried it out and then overwatered it. The lower leaves turn yellow and fall off, you can end up with a bald petunia. 4. Long overstaying of seedlings in cups, improper growing conditions for seedlings and, as a result, overgrown long sticks with a flower at the end, and not a wide flowering ball. How to fix this? At the end of spring, you could pinch and stimulate growth in width. 5. Thickening. Too many petunias were planted in one container. At least 5 liters per petunia. And it depends on the variety, for example, Surfinia Hot Pink feels great in 12-14 liters. And now the varieties that grow despite the flaws in care - Blanket: Rose, Zinfandel, Violet, White, Rose Star, Red. Raspberry Star, Surfinia Table White.
