Because of these mistakes, no summer resident will be able to create a lush flowerbed on their plot.
The foundation for the future harvest, flowering and everything for which cultivated plants are grown is laid at the planting stage.
The kind of care you give to the seedlings will determine the harvest or flowering. As for petunias, many gardeners make a number of gross mistakes at the seedling stage.
Stuffy room
The essence of a common mistake is that gardeners place petunia seedlings near a heating battery on a windowsill.
Near a source of warm air, the seedlings will stretch out, the leaves will wither. The normal temperature for petunia is within +19 …+23 °C.
Drought and humidity
If the soil is constantly wet, the seedlings can be destroyed by fungus. Rotting roots of seedlings are common when a large amount of water enters the soil.
Drought is also harmful. It is necessary to find a balance in which the plant will receive only the required amount of water.
Spraying
Petunia seedlings are considered delicate and capricious. There are many factors that can ruin them. For example, spraying the leaves can cause a burn if the pot is on a windowsill.
