Florists have revealed valuable advice that will help petunias bloom profusely and for a long time.
With this trick, savvy summer residents continue to enjoy the beauty of flowers, while their neighbors are already removing faded plants.
Favorable conditions
It is important to remember that almost any plant will experience accelerated wilting under unfavorable conditions. The life of a flower can be shortened by a couple of weeks or even a whole month.
Factors to consider:
- watering;
- top dressing;
- prevention of diseases and pests;
- lighting.
Based on these factors, many plants, including petunias, continue to bloom for a long time.
But sometimes it can be difficult to meet the necessary conditions, especially in cases where the garden is already full of things to do.
How to prolong flowering
If your petunia starts showing signs of imminent wilting, it's time to take action. It needs some light pruning.
Remove old, diseased and wilting shoots. After a little rejuvenation, a second wave of flowering will follow.
