In March, flower lovers sow petunias for seedlings in order to enjoy flowering by the beginning of summer.
Summer residents are primarily interested in what fertilizers are needed so that seedlings grow strong and healthy. However, in reality, attention should be paid to another nuance.
Experienced gardeners believe that petunia seedlings should not be fed at all. In their opinion, this is a waste of time and money, since all the substances necessary for seedlings are already in the soil.
The seedlings are not dying because of a lack of nutrition. The problem is in another mistake. The seedlings are ready for transplanting in about 1.5 months.
During this time, the seedlings receive enough nutrition and do not need fertilizers. But it is important to create optimal conditions for the plants - sufficient light and air temperature within +15 …+20 °C.
Another big mistake is hidden in the desire of summer residents to save space. Seeds are sown too densely. Often the poor quality of seedlings is associated with this nuance.
