It is best to place it on a sunny balcony in autumn, winter and spring. In summer, pay attention to shade to prevent burns. Provide it with water, fertilizer and light during the flowering period, and remove the flowers after they fall. Petunias are not resistant to high temperatures. When the temperature is high, pay attention to spraying water to cool down. For daily maintenance, pay attention to pruning.

1. Location

1. Location

In spring, autumn and winter, it is best not to place it on a balcony facing the north, because the light is relatively weak, and if it is placed in the north, the light will be even less. In summer, it needs to be placed in the east and north, because the temperature is extremely high in summer, so it needs to be shaded.

2. Overwintering

< p>One thing you need to pay attention to when spending the winter at home is that it can only survive the winter in temperatures above zero. It is best to keep it in a closed balcony with sunlight, so that wind, rain, etc. will not affect it. In addition In addition, we also need to keep the pot soil moist and give it enough light. Of course, if the temperature on the balcony is particularly high, its flowering period will also advance.

3. Flowering period

If you want its flowering period to come, you must first have one requirement, that is, the temperature must be suitable. Only at a suitable temperature will it bloom. When it blooms, we need to pay attention to water and fertilizer, and also give it enough light. If the flower fails, it must be removed. Another advantage of picking the flower is that the leaves below it will grow new branches and then bloom, and the flowering period will be extended. Do not apply too much fertilizer, especially nitrogen fertilizer, during the flowering period. If you apply too much, it will easily cause the plant to grow too tall and fall over.

4. Pruning

< p>Pruning is necessary, especially when growing at home. In May and October, its flowers will bloom continuously and the vines will grow very long. At this time, we can shorten its stems and then topdress it to keep the pot soil moist. After a while, Tal will grow There will be new branches and new flowers on the stems. Of course, if we are cultivating hanging cultivation, we don’t need to prune.

5. Shade

The temperature will be extremely high next year. We need to cool it down and provide it with shade. It is best to sprinkle some water on the surrounding ground. Also give it some ventilation. Be careful not to water it too much, otherwise its roots will rot. We should note that it is not resistant to high temperatures. If the temperature remains above 30 degrees, it will physiologically wither and die.
