Petunias Plant Care Tips

Soil: A light, fertile and good-drained soil is best for planting petunias.

Water: Petunias require moderate watering; neither let the soil dry out for long periods of time nor water the soil too much. Consistent soil moisture is enough for a petunia plant.

Sunlight: Petunias grow very well in full sunlight for at least 6 hours and can also grow in some shade on hot summer days. But shade-grown petunias produce fewer flowers.

Temperature: The optimum day temperature for growing petunia is 15-29 °C while the night temperature is 12-18 °C.

Pruning: Removing or deadheading spent flowers is very important for a petunia’s healthy growth. Deadhead encourages more blooms and gives room for new blooms. In addition, it is important to regularly remove any infected or dry parts of the petunia plant for better growth.

Common pests and diseases: Pests such as aphids, fleas, beetles, slugs, and snails feed on the plants. And gray mold disease infects plants, especially during the rainy season. You can use neem oil to repel insects on petunia plants, and gray mold disease can be controlled by removing infected leaves or flowers.
