How to water petunias

Petunia Watering Tips

Like most plants, when watering petunias, you should follow the principle of "don't water unless the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when you do."

The underground root system of petunia is generally very large like the above-ground plants. When the sunlight is strong, due to its large size and strong transpiration, the water demand is very huge. If it is not replenished with water for a long time, the leaves will turn yellow and fall off.

When to water petunias

Except for the time when petunias are just established, which requires proper water control to promote the growth of the root system, at other times, especially in weather with particularly strong sunlight, it is best not to water until the soil is dry, but to keep the soil moist at all times.

If you are not sure about the amount of water to be applied, you can use the weight of the pot to feel the moisture content of the soil.

How often should petunias be watered?

Generally speaking, it is enough to water petunias once a week, but be sure to water them thoroughly. However, be careful not to water too much. If there is water accumulation in the pot for a long time, it will easily cause the roots of the plant to rot and even die. Therefore, the soil for potting should have good drainage properties.

What is there to lament about the girl in the green skirt and the bamboo box, with the bright morning glories in her bun. I hope everyone can grow beautiful petunias at home.
