Capricious plants are found not only among vegetable or berry crops. There are also plenty of picky ones among decorative representatives.
For example, what does it cost to grow petunia seedlings: the seeds are small, sowing is difficult, and there is no guarantee that they will all sprout.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told when it is possible to re-sow petunia seeds.
Petunia flowers decorate any area, window or balcony.
Bright and varied in color inflorescences are equally popular with city dwellers and nomadic summer residents.
The only thing that stops gardeners from growing them is the bad temper of this plant.
It is rare for beginners, especially, to succeed in growing seedlings of this crop the first time.
There are all sorts of failures. The seedlings may die, or the seeds may not hatch. The main thing in this case is not to miss it and replant in time.
It's time to sow again
First of all, remember that the plant needs loose soil – that’s the first thing.
Secondly, the seeds are sown into already moist soil and on its very surface.
Thirdly, the flowerbed should germinate in a warm place.
If all these conditions are met, then, with a favorable outcome, the first shoots should appear within two weeks from the sowing date.
If after 14 days nothing is visible except weeds, then there is nothing left to wait for.
Even if something sprouts later than the specified period, it is unlikely that you will be able to grow strong and sturdy flowers from these seedlings.
