How to plant & care for Petunia
Be sure to keep the soil of your Petunias moist to keep their blooms looking beautiful! Petunias like evenly moist soil that is never dried out.
Petunia blooms love sun! To show off their beautiful color, they need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.
Prune to your desired shape as needed. Be sure not to trim back more than 1/3 of the plant at a time.
Take a few cuttings from your existing Petunia plant and place the bottom part of the stem into soil that is mixed heavily with compost. Roots should establish rather quickly for these beauties!
Fertilize with a controlled release fertilizer upon planting.
