Petunia is good for garden decoration, balcony and summer terraces. It is characterized by constant flowering, pomp, variety of shades and unpretentiousness. However, the difficulty lies in the right cultivation of seedlings, which requires time and attention.
1
Buy in the store ready soil or prepare yourself, mixing two parts of the peat, humoring, sand and turf. At the bottom of the boxes should be filled with ceramzit, then finished land, without fully filling the container. Part of the soil sink through fine sieve and cover the top layer.
2
Petunia seeds are very small, so they do not fall asleep the earth, but scatter on the surface of a moistened land. You can slightly press the seed hands. An easier way is to use peat tablets. They are poured with boiling water, and the seeds are placed in the recess. Seed seedlings in early March, in June to transplange into open soil.
3
Drawers with seeds are covered with polyethylene and provide moderate humidity and temperature + 24c - + 26c. For this, several times a day spray seedlings with a solution of manganese. When the first shoots appear, polyethylene gradually remove, starting from 8-10 minutes a day and after a week they are completely removed. Thus, petunia seedlings are easily adapted to external conditions and become stronger.
4
After the appearance of 2-3 real leaves, the seedlings are peeing into individual cups. Soil take the same. Deeperate plants to the first leaves so that the root system is formed stronger. Water seedlings under the root, not overcoating soil. Seedlings need to provide sufficiently light so that it does not stretch into growth.
5
As soon as the seedlings strongly stuck, they begin to harde them. Every day, 10 minutes leave an open window. But it is necessary to monitor the drafts and direct flow of cold air to the seedlings. Two weeks after picking, nitrogen-containing fertilizers contribute.
In the first three weeks, seedlings will grow slowly, since the root system of petunition is formed at this time. But after a month and a half, it will begin to actively develop, forming a branch.
