Because of one miscalculation, gardeners get stunted seedlings instead of lush flowering.
Petunias are quite popular among summer residents who want to decorate their garden plots.
These flowers are unpretentious, but still require certain conditions at the sowing stage. When sowing seeds for seedlings, gardeners forget about one rule.
An important nuance
Looking at tiny petunia seeds, gardeners make the wrong conclusion. It seems that such planting material will sprout with a low probability.
Gardeners sprinkle seeds generously into the soil of a small seedling container. Of course, they plan to transplant the seedlings into a larger container later.
As a result, the seeds sprout abundantly, but immediately run into a problem. The sprouts literally have to survive in cramped conditions.
There is a struggle for almost everything: light, water, air, nutrients. The seedlings simply will not survive until the picking moment in such conditions. Therefore, experts advise not to thicken petunias from the very beginning.
