Top dressing of petunia seedlings

Petunia is an annual flowering plant that is one of the most popular flowers among gardeners in our country. She earned immense popularity and love of flower growers due to her beautiful appearance, a huge variety of types and colors of flowers, as well as a very long flowering period. In addition, petunia is a very unpretentious plant that perfectly adapts to cultivation conditions and soil.

Breeding petunias does not require too much effort. It is grown from seedlings that are sown in early spring or late winter, as well as from seeds that are sown in open ground in May, when the threat of frost is minimal. Of course, the most efficient and reliable way is to grow with seedlings.

Seedlings are sown in special containers in late February or early March. Feeding petunia seedlings begins about a week after the plants sprout. Until that time, it is recommended to spray them with a weak solution of potassium permanganate once, or preferably twice a day.

Feeding petunia seedlings begins with water-soluble mineral fertilizers, which should be sprayed or watered. Next, you should carefully monitor the state of the seedlings, and if they sprout too slowly, then feeding the seedlings of petunias with the help of special growth stimulants will not interfere.

When growing seedlings of petunia, it must be remembered that this plant does not tolerate high humidity, therefore, moderate watering is necessary, although the soil cannot be dried out either.
