Key features

• •Sowing Petunia Seeds are recommended to be sown from February to April, depending on the time of planting in the open ground. At home, it is better to sow at the end of March, when enough light comes. Then the seedlings can be raspikirovat on a warm balcony or in a film greenhouse. With such a period of sowing expect flowering in June. Petunia seeds are very small, with almost no reserve of nutrients.
• •Therefore, for normal growth of seedlings, the soil should be: 1. loose 2. light in mechanical composition 3. nutrient 4. acid neutral.
• •For sowing, it is better to take a shallow bowl with a drainage hole. Fill the container with a substrate, leaving the rim about 1 centimeter. Small seeds of Petunia are best mixed with dry sand sifted, so they are more evenly distributed along the line. Sown seeds for fast germination, it is desirable to abundantly sprinkle with water.
• •It must be remembered that it is important not to overdry, and that germination will not. Therefore, before you decompose the seeds, it is necessary to wet the soil well and keep it wet until the seedlings appear. In this case, it is better to water from the tray through the hole in the bowl or spray the crops from the spray.
• •Seedling care From a simple seed seedlings emerge in 4-6 days. After germination, seedlings need a large amount of light and moderate soil moisture. With a lack of light shoots are stretched, and if high humidity is added, it is possible and the death of the black leg. To avoid high humidity, the crops need to be opened, and when the cotyledons are opened, the film is removed.
