1. Soil

To raise petunias, choose loose and well-drained sandy loam soil, because it is afraid of water, so the drainage must be good to avoid root rot.

2. Watering

Usually water in an appropriate amount, not too much or too little. Generally, when the temperature is high in summer, it is necessary to maintain sufficient moisture and water in time, but make sure that there is no accumulation of water in the pot soil. Drainage measures should be taken when it rains a lot to prevent root rot caused by accumulation of water. If there is too much rain during the flowering period, the flower color will become dull.

3. Temperature and light

The suitable growth temperature for petunia is 13-18℃. In winter, the temperature should be controlled at 4-10℃. If the temperature is too low, it will stop growing. Whether it is a ground plant or a potted plant, it must be kept in sufficient sunlight. If there is insufficient sunlight, there will be fewer flowers and the quality of the flowers will be poor. It is best to give it 12 hours of light every day.

4. Prune in time

It is a vine plant, so it is best to prepare a support, and you can insert a pole on the flowerpot so that it can grow around it. It also needs to be pruned appropriately. When it grows to about 7 leaves, the tops should be pinched off to allow more and bigger flowers to bloom.

5. Precautions

Petunias are prone to aphids, so do not spray them with permethrin after discovery, so as not to cause pesticide damage and hinder its normal growth.
