? Is it possible to grow petunia in an apartment?

If your windows are on the south side, then be sure to grow for yourself the seedlings of petunias so that later all summer and autumn you can enjoy the beauty of this annual.

If the windows are located on the north side, then the petunia bloom will not be so abundant. Basically, petunia will produce green tops, and not flower buds.

? Petunia on the balcony. Is it possible to grow?

If you have a sunny balcony, then growing petunia on the balcony will give you pleasure. Daily flower beauty can please not only you, but also your neighbors, as the pots with petunia can be placed both inside the balcony and behind the balcony.

?  How long does it take to grow petunia seedlings?

In order to get seedlings of petunias from the moment of sowing to the formation of a bush with 2-3 flowers, it takes 2.5 months. For terry petunia - 3 months.

?  When is it better to sow petunia?

If you plan to grow petunia for yourself, it is better to sow it in late February - in early March.

? How to grow petunia?

At the first stage of germination, it is necessary to create a high level of soil moisture in the range of 22-24 ° C. When sowing the seeds do not sprinkle with earth!

At the stage of emergence of the root and cotyledons, it is necessary to reduce the soil moisture level to 20 ° C. Use maximum lighting 25,000 Lux

At the stage of the appearance of this leaf, it is necessary to allow the soil to dry out between irrigations, the soil temperature drops to 18-21 ° C Use lighting maximum 50 000 Lux. Fertilizers are used at this stage.

At the fourth stage of growing petunias, they carry out the first transplant (picking). Use an average level of humidity. The temperature of the soil is reduced to 16-18 ° C. Lighting maximum 55,000 Lux

Use growth regulators and fertilizers.

The second transplant is made in pots: for trailing - 17-20 cm, for the remaining petunias - 10.5-13 cm. After transplantation, it is necessary to maintain nighttime temperatures in the range - 13-18 ° C, daytime temperatures - 16-20 ° C and maximum illumination .

? What fertilizers should be used at different stages of growing petunia seedlings?

When the root and cotyledon appear and before the first pick, it is necessary to use calcium nitrate, which is responsible for the skeleton of the plant. At this moment, phosphorus is excluded, since phosphorus and ammonium nitrogen contribute to stretching and lodging of seedlings.

After the first pick (transplant, transshipment), i.e. root damage, it is necessary to give phosphorus so that the roots develop well. Monophosphate can be, and Akvarin “Super” N - 18% can be used, P2O5 - 18%, K2O - 18%, MgO - 2%, S - 1.5% + complex of microelements in chelate form.

Before planting to accelerate flowering, foliar feeding with 1% boron can be given.

After disembarking, we again give phosphorus.

During flowering - requires an enhanced dose of potassium (15: 5: 30).

? What conditions contribute to the growth of the root system in petunias?

For better growth of the roots of petunias, it is necessary to comply with the regime of agricultural technology.

In petunia, the growth of the root in coolness overtakes up the one whose seedlings are grown in warmer conditions. However, if it is not possible to grow petunia in the “cool-warm” mode, the problem can be solved by using more light when growing seedlings. With good lighting and heat - the seedlings of petunia will turn out good too.

Also, when watering you need to let the seedlings dry out between waterings. Petunia is better to water in the pan.

It is necessary to fertilize petunias with fertilizer containing a large amount of phosphorus, which is responsible for the active development of the root system. If from infancy to water petunia fertilizers. containing a large amount of potassium - grow a frail plant with a weak root system.

To build root use Radifarm - plant complex extracts, enriched with vitamins and trace elements. Radifarm stimulates the development of lateral and additional roots, helps to survive the plant injury during transplantation, as well as high temperature, excess moisture. When picking a petunia, it is good to spill the plants 2-3 times at weekly intervals.

Also, if there is no radipharm, zircon can be used.

?  Why do leaves of petunia curl?

One of the common causes of petunia leaf curling and yellowing is the presence of pests. The first pest is the spider mite. If you look at the leaves on the lumen and the leaves will be like a needle wrinkle, these are definitely tricks of the spider mite. Treat all plants with Taurus immediately.

For the prevention of spider mites, it is necessary to treat the seedlings of petunias with a flyoderm or actophyte.

Also, leaf curl in petunias can occur due to the fact that very high temperature, dry air and no light. The higher the temperature, the more light, if, on the contrary, at a low degree there is a lot of light, the plant lays many growth points and a more compact plant is obtained, but if you have heat, above 20 ° C and the light is small and more dry air, the plant tries to avoid loss of moisture, spinning sheet.

? How to ensure that the petunia was squat, plump and bushy?

In order for the petunia not to be stretched, it is necessary to observe the agricultural techniques of growing petunias: to withstand day and night temperatures. Low temperatures at night (up to 5 degrees Celsius) and high temperatures (16-18 ° C) during the day contribute to the fact that the petunia will be plump and bushy without a lot of nibs.

? Why does petunia grow in one stick with a bud on the end?

At high temperatures (about 18 ° C) and without daytime and nightfalls, the whole seedling of terry petunia grows in 1 stick.

Petunias need to pinch for bushiness. Without pinching, lack of light and content of the seedlings of petunias in a warm place, an elongated and non-bushy plant will grow.

? When do you need to pinch petunia?

Pinch the petunia need after 2 pairs of true leaves. This contributes to the growth of axillary shoots.

?  How to feed petunia?

It is better not to feed the petunia before picking, but to begin fertilizing the pickled seedlings 2 weeks after picking.

Petunia likes it when alternate root and foliar feeding. If you have a lot of seedlings, it is more convenient to use the method of feeding on the sheet. The plant absorbs nutrients better when using top dressing per leaf. Splash better in the evening or early in the morning.

?  How to feed petunia?

10-14 days after the picking, you can sprinkle the seedlings of petunias with a radiopharmaceutical (root stimulator).

Then you can use complex fertilizers - Kemira Lux, Mortar, Aquarin or Plantafol (nitrogen 30.10.10, potassium 10.54.10, phosphorus 5.15.45) in turn at intervals of about 7-10 days.

?  What conditions are needed for petunia bloom?

For blooming petunias need a long day and strong illumination.

? What contributes to the formation of lateral shoots?

For the formation of lateral shoots need nip and low night temperature (13-15 ° C).

?  How to achieve long lashes of ampel petunia?

Petunia is a “voracious” plant. Therefore, the greater the volume of land for petunias, the longer will be lashed at the ampelous and more luxurious bush at the bush. From this we conclude that the smaller the land and nutrition of petunias, the less attractive the plant will be and vice versa.

? Why petunia does not bloom (or it is empty bloom on petunias)?

If the sun is not enough, the petunia can gain a lot of decent greenery and not bloom.

Also, in a small tank, the roots of petunia have nowhere to roam, there is less power and flowering will be rare or not at all. Petunia is a voracious plant, loves top dressing. During the flowering period in fertilizers there should be a little nitrogen, and there should be more phosphorus and potassium.

Consider that the first flowers of petunia are almost always half-empty, later the plant will gain strength and please with chic flowers.

If you are fond of pinching, then this also delays flowering.

? How to speed up the bloom of petunias?

To accelerate flowering, when the bush was formed, give top dressing with a predominance of potassium. Once give a top dressing on a leaf, before flowering at the rate of 1 gr. boric acid to 1 liter of water.

H does it affect the brightness of petunia flowers?

The reason for changing the brightness of the color of petunia flowers can be: lack of light, pests, damage to the roots during transplantation, lack of certain nutrients, acidity of the soil.

Phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are used to enhance the color of petunia flowers. If you overdo it with nitrogen fertilizers, it is possible blanching color.

? Why do petunia leaves turn blue-violet?

With a lack of phosphorus leaves in petunias can become purple. If the measles is good, then this is not the reason.

When the daytime and nighttime temperatures fall in petunia in winter, the leaves can also turn purple.

? What to do if the leaves of petunia chlorozat (yellow)?

Usually, the problem of chlorosis in petunias is handled with the help of iron chelate, which is treated with a plant either on the leaf or under the root. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. It all depends on the manufacturer of the chelate and shelf life.

A very convenient and less expensive way is to water the chlorotic seedlings of petunia with citric acid at the rate of (1 tbsp per 10 l of water) or (1 g per 1 l). After two weeks the pale, yellow seedlings become green again. However, note that yellowing of leaves is not always an indicator of iron deficiency or non-digestibility. This may be a lack of manganese, nitrogen and other trace elements.

From a lack of nitrogen, small and yellow leaves are formed. Due to the lack of iron, light yellow or white leaves are formed, the apical shoot is affected.

From the lack of magnesium, which is manifested on the lower leaves - the leaves become variegated in color, turn brown and fall off.

Usually for the prevention of chlorosis using a concentration of citric acid at the rate of 1 tablespoon per 10 liters of water. If you have a few plants, it turns out 1 year per 1 liter. 1 g is about a few crystals of citric acid.

?  How to make iron chelate yourself?

In 3 liters of cold boiled water dissolve 12 g of citric acid. In this solution, enter 7.5 g of iron sulfate. The result is a complex salt of bivalent iron of light orange color. This solution is suitable for spraying a sick plant and for feeding under the root. Remains of unused solution can be poured under the garden flowers.

?  What are the most common petunia diseases?

Petunia seedlings are susceptible to blackleg.

The most common problem of petunia is leaf chlorosis, which occurs from frequent watering and non-compliance with the agricultural practices of growing petunias.

Petunia can be saved in winter. Many people think that petunia is an annual, and it is often written on seed packets that petunia is an annual plant. However, you can extend the life of our beauties until next year. To this end, at the end of August, cuttings are made from beautiful pets and rooted. These cuttings that will have time to get stronger and increase the root system and will winter. Petunia should winter in cool conditions. It is advisable to leave it on a cool balcony with a positive temperature. If there is no such possibility, you can bring petunia into the room and put it on the coldest sill. Due to the dry air in the room in the room, petunia may be affected by a spider mite, therefore, periodically (a couple of times a month), the mother liquor must be treated with a flyoverm or actophyte.

In the spring with the mother of petunia, cut the cuttings and root. These cuttings will be new plants. Rooting cuttings will occur about 2 weeks, unlike sowing seeds of petunia, which will take more than 2 months.

?  When are the petunias grazed?

It is possible to cut the petunias at any time of the year, if you have the opportunity to highlight them with fitolamps.

After the rooting of the cutting, if it is well settled down after 2 weeks, you can safely cut off half of the cutting to a new one. Thereby you will force a plant to start up new escapes from sheet sinuses and receive one more sapling.

? What is pinching petunia?

In order for the petunia to bush and not grow into one whip it pinch. Pinch the tip of the crown with your fingernail. Keep in mind that not a leaf, but the tip of the top. Pinching moves back flowering for 2-3 weeks, but later there will be a beautiful bush.

? What to do if the seedlings of petunia overgrown (stretched)?

If the seedlings of petunia are stretched there are two ways out of this situation.

First - you can pinch.

Second - you can transfer the seedlings into large cups. For example, if petunia was 200 grams. glass, roll it in 500 gr. glass and pour the ground. Petunia, as all solanaceous normally transfers transplant-transshipment.

? How to achieve a large cap of flowers from ampel petunia?

The more soil and feeding, the larger hat of flowers will grow in petunias.

? When will the spray petunia bloom, planted in late February?

Spray petunia sown at the end of February with an additional light of 14-16 hours and temperatures above 25 degrees will bloom by the end of April.

? Why do the lower leaves of petunia turn yellow?

The lower leaves of petunias usually turn yellow from overflow, lack of nitrogen or a small volume of land.

? Petunia is affected by the whitefly. What drugs to take with whitefly?

From the whitefly, you can use Aktar, which is sprayed with petunia and shed. Aktara is good because it almost does not smell. Consider that the development cycle of the whitefly is about 21 days, the larvae themselves cover themselves with a waxy coating, therefore they are well protected from external influence (unlike the common aphid).

?  Why did the seedlings of petunia stop growing?

Growth arrest may be due to a lack of boron as a result of which the apical growth points die. To solve the problem, you can spray petunia with a solution of boric acid (7 g. Per 10 liters of water). The result should appear in 10 days.

? What to do to better graft when picking a plant?

After picking petunias into other containers, there may be damage to the root system. Therefore, in a week it is better to give the plants monophosphate or fertilizers with a high content of phosphorus in order to settle down better.

? Why do they bloom petunia flowers?

Those flowers that have bloomed in petunia cut off not only for aesthetic purposes, but also to stimulate flowering.

?  How often to water the petunia growing on the balcony?

Petunia loves to drink. Therefore, petunias on the balcony need regular watering once or twice a day. Upper ground ball should not completely dry. On hot days, water the flower abundantly. Petunia easily tolerates if watering is too abundant. The only thing that can negatively affect is the stagnation of water. Regular watering of petunias will provide you with luxurious flowering and lush bushes.

For watering petunia, acidity of water is of great importance. Petunia likes more water with an acid reaction. As you know, most of us have hard water. Therefore, there are two options: either acidify the water for irrigation, or simply plant the plant in an acidic land mixture.

? How often to fertilize an adult petunia plant?

In order for petunia to be pleased with beautiful flowers, an adult petunia plant should be fertilized at least every 10 days.

? How to cutting a petunia?

Petunia can be grafted in many ways. The success of rooting the cutting of petunia is an earthen mixture. It should be air.

You can prepare the following mixture: 2 parts of moss + 1 part of vermicult + 1 part of the ground of terra, some sand.

We moisten the earthy mixture and put chekrenki into the cups. Cuttings deepen 1.5 cm. Cut off the lower leaves.
  Cover with cellophane. After 10-12 days, first roots will appear depending on the variety.

The unpretentious modest petunia familiar from childhood has long been transformed into a magnificent beauty. Thanks to the hard work of breeders, a huge number of varieties and hybrids of various colors and shades appeared. The plant won the hearts of even inexperienced flower growers, featuring unpretentious and continuous elegant flowering. One of the main procedures for its cultivation is the removal of apical buds. This operation allows you to get a lush bush, studded with multiple flowers.

Brazil and Uruguay are considered the birthplace of this beauty, from where in the 18th century it was brought by French botanist Jean Lamarck, who is engaged in the search for rare plants.

The plant is a perennial, however, it is mainly grown as a perennial, and, with the onset of the first frost, simply thrown away. In late autumn, petunia can be transferred into a container with nutrient soil, brought into the room and provide additional lighting. Then this flower will delight all year round.


The flower is a shrub in height from 15 to 90 cm with creeping stems, forming axillary shoots of the second and subsequent order. Perennial leaves, differing in various shapes and sizes, without teeth and grooves, heavily pubescent. Flowers of the correct form: simple, semi-double, terry. They have a delicate aroma and variety of colors. The fruit of the plant is represented by a box with 300-800 pieces of small seeds.

The beauty blooms at the end of June - the beginning of July, delighting with its beauty up to the onset of significant frosts. Quietly withstands a brief decrease in temperature to -3 degrees. Propagated by sowing seeds or cutting. Seedlings begin to grow in the third decade of January, using additional lighting.

Important!

When landing on a permanent place the plant must provide well-lit areas, sufficient watering, ventilation.

How to and why pinch petunia

Having worked on the creation of modern varieties and hybrids, breeders have ensured that the gardener had to make a minimum of effort and intervention in the formation of the crown of petunia. However, even growing modern hybrids, without pinching is just not enough.

The pinning method is used to:

  • stimulate the growth and development of lateral branches;
  • provide abundant flowering;
  • give the pomp and compactness of the bush.

Removal of apical buds is made at the moment of active growth of seedlings no later than 30-55 days after the first shoots. The procedure is carried out with any cutting tool or just fingers. The escape is cut off over the fourth or fifth true leaf. At the site of the fracture of the plant, a new growth point is created, from which secondary stems will grow. After the operation, seedlings for some time inhibits its development. However, after a few days, it is fully restored and begins to grow more actively.

After the pinching process, the lower part of the petunia becomes very sturdy. Because of this, the plant is more durable and is opposed to any natural disasters.

Do all varieties of petunia need to pinch


Mandatory removal of apical buds requires:

  • old varieties that do not differ decorative;
  • plants cultivated from seeds that were collected on their own.

Most hybrids bred by originators-breeders do not require nipping, differing in compactness and lush flowering. Generally do not need pinching hybrids:

  • Limbo F1;
  • Mambo F1;
  • Alladin F1;
  • Schok Wave F1;
  • Ultra F1;
  • Frost F1;
  • Picobella F1;
  • Hulahoop F1;
  • Dreams F1;
  • Merlin F1;
  • Mirade F1.

The time to pinch petunia


In order for the beauty to enjoy the chic and long flowering, remove the apical buds need three times per season:

  1. With the formation on the plant of the fourth and fifth true leaf 30-40 days after the appearance of the first shoots.
  2. 10-15 days after transplanting to a permanent place in the ground.
  3. During the active growth of flowers in a permanent place, no later than thirty days after transplantation.

Triple pinion allows the plant to turn into a bright, chic bush for the season.

Petunia care after pinching

After removing the tops, you need to provide the plant with the necessary fertilizer. A few days after the first pinching, young seedlings need to be fed with any growth stimulator according to the instructions:

  • Endophyte;
  • Regoplant;
  • Epin;
  • Succinic acid;
  • Alpha Nano.

Further fertilizing should be carried out every 10-15 days with complex mineral fertilizers with a high percentage of nitrogen content. Pinned plants also require systematic irrigation and loosening of the soil. Without giving the petunia a proper care after pinching, you can get in return the development of thin painful shoots.

Petunia cuttings after pinching

Remote apical shoots are full planting material. With the help of the remaining cuttings, you can successfully replenish the collection of petunias. This is especially true of those hybrids whose seeds are of considerable value. To get a young bush you need:

  1. Leave 1-2 leaves on a cut off shoot.
  2. Place the cutting in a container with water, adding to it 2 tablets of crushed activated carbon.
  3. When whitish roots appear on the shoot, plant the plant in a container with nutrient soil.
  4. After complete engraftment of the petunia, make its pinking, necessary feeding and land on a permanent place.

How to pinch a petunia of a different type

Differing in the shape of the bush and the length of the stems, the plant has some features in the formation of its lush crown.

Ampel petunia

Plants that inherit the natural formation of a lush blooming bush. Many ampelous hybrids do not need pinching. However, to fully guarantee the creation of a well-branched bush, you need to carry out a single one-time removal of the top shoots at the age of seedlings 35-45 days.


Cascade Petunia

A type of petunia that needs at least a triple pinch for the entire growing season. Removing the apical shoots on the plant, you can achieve elegant flowering and the shape of a brightly blooming ball.


Spray petunia

Plants of this type are pinned when small number of lateral branches are formed. Such petunias need to be stimulated by cutting the central stem and treating with any growth stimulant.


Terry Petunia

Terry hybrids need to remove the apical shoots very rarely. Compact luxurious flowers created by breeders that initially form a beautiful crown during the growing season. The nip procedure is carried out in cases of pulling young seedlings due to lack of daylight.


Can you pinch petunia when it blooms


If the flowers have already begun to bloom profusely, the removal of the apical shoots can also be successfully carried out. The main thing is to cut no more than four shoots from a bush. After the procedure, a day to process the flowers with any growth stimulant.

What to do with cut off shoots

Plucked shoots of plants can be rooted by adding flower beds to new bushes. To do this:

  • process cut stems "Kornovinom" or dip the bottom of the cuttings in the wood ash;
  • tear off all the leaves on the processes, leaving 1-2 pieces in the upper part;
  • place the cuttings in a container with distilled water with the addition of activated carbon;
  • to land the tops in open ground, zamulchirovav, covered with a plastic transparent container.

To form a bush that will delight with its beauty and continuous flowering, remember the following recommendations:

  1. For a good build-up of the vegetative mass, fertilizing with complex fertilizer is needed every 7-10 days during the whole season.
  2. Be sure to conduct regular watering and loosening the soil.
  3. Remove faded buds and seed boxes.
  4. Preventive treatment from pests with pesticides, from the defeat of diseases of copper-containing drugs.
  5. Perform pinion procedure with a sterile instrument.

Important!

For the fastest formation of lateral branches on the plant, it is necessary to lower the air temperature at night by 4-6 degrees.

Conclusion

When conducting a competent removal of the apical shoots, following the recommendations for the care of petunias, you can admire the exquisite beauty of the plants and continuous flowering to the very cold.

Volumetric multi-colored bushes of terry, ampelous, bicolor and monotonous petunias won the hearts of experienced gardeners and beginners. From mid-spring to the first frost, flowers, amazing in their diversity and decoration, adorn not only the summer cottages, but also the balconies of multi-storey buildings, cottage verandas, city flowerbeds, cafes and restaurants. Flowers are unpretentious, do not require professional maintenance and special conditions, but they are grateful for the care of florist. The flower needs good care, providing, in addition to traditional procedures, the formation of the bush by pinching or pinching. Petunia, which is not pinned, but allowed to grow freely, can form a long bush that will roll to the side. If you correctly form the crown of the plant, you can get a lush, with a lot of flowering shoots, a flower.

What you need to pinch the petunia

Pinching (or pinching) - breaking up / pinching the tops of the plant with the nails. After that, the remaining part of the stem becomes ligneous and begins to thicken, the leaves become more saturated color, and the buds in the axils increase in size. In gardening, this process is done to get new strong shoots and a more beautiful appearance. However, this method works if the pinning was done before the growing season ended.

It is easy to get a living decoration from a small sprout of a strong and pleasing to the eye; the main thing is to know how to pinch petunia correctly and strictly follow the rules.

Do all varieties of petunia need to pinch

Old long-timed amateur varieties or plants grown from seeds collected from their flowers must be pinned. As a rule, such a petunia in its natural form is far from compactness and pomp.

To modern hybrid petunias, breeders make strict demands not only on the beauty and splendor of flowering, but also to simplify the care of plants.

Petunia modern varieties or hybrids does not require nipping or requires minimal intervention in the formation of the crown.

However, even on modern varieties without nipping operation can not do. Often, when the seedlings of petunias grow at home with a lack of light and in crampedness, when the temperature is too high for it - the plants are drawn out.

In this case, you can shed the seedlings with the Atlet or other similar means (which is used in industrial greenhouses) or pick up. Many gardeners are not proponents of using excessive “chemistry” even on flowers and prefer to pinch petunia.

The rapid formation of lateral shoots contributes to lowering the night temperature.

What is needed for pinching petunias

To carry out this manipulation you will need the following:

  • comfortable scissors or pruner;
  • mature seedlings with 4 - 5 large leaves on top;
  • tank for collecting remote cuttings.

How and when to pinch petunias

Pinching petunias should be done twice - at the seedling stage and after planting in open ground. If the second pinching with a shortage of time can be neglected, the nip at the seedling stage is mandatory. It is carried out when a young sapling will have 5-6 leaves, a little less, but not more than this amount can be. The algorithm of conducting is quite simple. A miniature pruner, scissors or just fingers need to pinch the stem of a young plant over the 5-6th leaf. To the seedling after this procedure recovered faster, you can pour or sprinkle it with a growth stimulator such as "Epin" or "Zircon".

A month later, when the new side shoots go to growth, you need to pinch again. Now it is carried out not only on the central stem, but also on the side shoots, which after this procedure will sprout the third order. After re-pinning, foliar and root dressing is carried out with full mineral fertilizer and growth stimulant. Ampelnye varieties desirable to pinch every 3-4 weeks.

What to do after pinching petunias

With regular shortening of the shoots and enhanced growth of petunias, constant feeding with growth stimulant and full mineral fertilizer is required. Otherwise many thin stalks will develop. To achieve returns from the plant is possible only with constant watering and proper care.

We remember that it is necessary to cut off faded flowers in time (not to pull them out, but to pinch them off from a branch with a pedicle). By forming testes, they take power from the plant.

Associated breeding of petunias by cuttings after pinching

Plucked or gently cut manicure scissors tops of the shoots of petunias are used as cuttings for further reproduction of the plant.

Emerging roots on green cuttings placed in water serve as a signal that they can already be planted in the ground, clearing the lower part of the stem from the leaves, leaving a couple of leaves on top. Planting young plants can be quite tight, often watering them and sprinkling them, feed them up, and also use a growth stimulator as the need arises.

Petunia grown from seeds in the home, as well as seedlings of inexpensive varieties purchased in the retail chains, must be subjected to regular pinching of the shoots sticking out of the common bush. Elite varieties grown in special nurseries can grow well without pinching, but they are more capricious, sensitive to sudden changes in humidity and temperature, and are affected by rain and wind.

  • Do not use the operation for seedlings in the boxes and young fragile sprouts, do not mix different varieties and in time remove the soil from weeds and pests. Remember, petunias need, like other ornamental species, constant attention and care;
  • After pinching, remote shoots (3-4 leaves) can be put in a jar of water and after the appearance of small roots use them for growing new petunia bushes;
  • Throughout the season, it is necessary to remove wilted flowers on time, this will contribute to the formation of new buds on the plants.

Pinching is a simple and at the same time important manipulation, allowing to improve the quality of flowering and form a certain shape of the plant. To correct the shape of the plant, you need to pinch the petunia regularly, skipping a month between this procedure. If you follow these rules for the care of petunia, you can grow beautiful shrubs of this flowering plant, which will be no worse than the photos in this article. If the petunias allow to grow independently, then it will just stretch out, and the flowers will be small. Petunias lovers are constantly finding new ways to decorate using unusual varieties, and it looks amazing.
