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.
