Florists shared the secret of how to care for petunias so that the bushes were abundant and blooming

Petunia can delight you with flowers until the very frosts, it is unpretentious, but you must follow the rules of care.

Details

Petunias need constant feeding. You can buy special fertilizers in stores, or you can use organic ones.

Wood ash is ideal. It is a source of valuable nutrients that are necessary for growth and development. With this fertilizer, petunias will grow abundantly and bloom for a long time.

The flower should be pinched regularly. This procedure promotes the development of a lush bush. When the first 4 leaves appear on the seedling, then the top is removed with scissors.

Side ones will form from the central stem, and they will already give the opportunity for more flowers to appear. Pinching is carried out several times so that the bush grows to the sides, and not up.

When the central stem reaches a height of 12 cm, it is necessary to pinch again and trim.

Young shoots should be shortened along 3 cm. This is done by hand. The procedure allows you to form a shape for the future bush.
