Many summer residents have tender feelings for flowering petunia bushes and are very upset when the flowering of this plant comes to an end.
Therefore, we will hasten to share with you some tips that will help prolong pleasant moments.
So, it is worth planting seedlings in large containers, since the flowers grow quickly.
At the same time, do not forget that petunias need nutritious and loose soil, so do not skimp on humus.
In addition, for long-term flowering, petunias need additional nutrition - after planting, the plant should be fed with urea, and during flowering, potassium monophosphate will do (5 g of the named preparation is enough for 10 liters of water).
It is essential to remove flowers that have already faded – this will save the plant from having to spend energy on forming seeds and capsules.
And in the middle of summer, when almost all the bushes have finished blooming, the petunia should be cut back radically, shortening the stems by half.
Immediately after this operation, add a complex fertilizer - "Nitroammophoska". In this case, 15 g of the composition will be needed per 10 liters of water.
