Growing Conditions
☀️ Lighting
Full sun - essential! Minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. More sun = more flowers! In shade, the plant becomes leggy and blooms less. In very hot areas, light afternoon shade can help.
💧 Watering
Keep consistently moist - not too wet and not too dry. In the ground, once a week deeply. In pots, more often! In hot summer, even daily. Do not leave standing water.
🌱 Soil
Well-drained and fertile! Amend soil with compost or organic matter. pH neutral to slightly acidic. In pots, high-quality mix with good drainage.
🌡️ Temperature
Loves heat! Ideally 21-27°C during the day, 13-18°C at night. Does not tolerate frost! Grown as an annual in most areas. Plant after the danger of frost has passed.
Common Problems and Solutions
🌿 Leggy plant / poor blooming
Lack of sun! Move to a spot with 6+ hours of sun. Lack of fertilizer can also cause sparse blooms. Trim long stems by half - it will recover!
🍂 Yellow leaves / wilting
Overwatering or underwatering. Check soil moisture - keep it consistently moist but not soggy. In hot summer, pots need more frequent watering!
🦠 Mold / petal rot
Caused by high humidity and rain. Do not wet leaves and flowers! Water at the base of the plant. Improve ventilation, keep plants spaced out.
🐛 Aphids / snails
Aphids - spray with insecticidal soap or a strong stream of water. Snails - remove manually or use bait. The plant is relatively resistant to pests.

🍽️ Fertilizing - The key to success!
Petunias are "heavy feeders" of the plant world - they need regular fertilizing!

In the ground: Balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) at planting, then monthly.
In pots: Diluted liquid fertilizer every week or two!
Wave varieties: Require even more - weekly fertilizing.

💡 Tip: Fertilizer with high potassium encourages blooming.
✂️ Trimming - The secret to continuous blooming
Deadheading: Removing faded flowers encourages new growth! (Wave varieties are self-cleaning)

Mid-summer trim: When the plant gets leggy and "bald" - cut back by half! It looks drastic, but the plant will recover within two weeks with denser blooming. Fertilize and water well after trimming.
