Dwarf petunias are highly adaptable but are sensitive to standing water. Therefore, when caring for potted plants at home, the humidity of the soil needs to be adjusted artificially. This means replenishing soil moisture while also ensuring that excess water is removed promptly. Let’s learn about the cultivation methods and precautions of dwarf morning glory. 1. Pot soil selection Petunia is suitable for planting in larger pots with a diameter of about 20-30 cm to ensure good air permeability, and avoid using pots with poor air permeability. The soil should be nutrient-rich sandy loam, and the bottom can be padded with plastic foam or gravel to enhance drainage. 2. Lighting requirements Petunias need plenty of sunlight to promote growth and nutrient synthesis. In spring, autumn and winter, make sure the plant has access to sufficient sunlight and place it on a sunny balcony or outdoors. In summer, you need to pay attention to shading to prevent strong sunlight from damaging the leaves and flowers. 3. Temperature management The ideal growing temperature for petunias is 15-25 degrees Celsius. During cold winters, the plants should be moved indoors to help them overwinter safely. 4. Fertilization strategy Petunia has a higher demand for fertilizer , so base fertilizer needs to be added when planting. During the growing period, fertilizer should be applied once every half a month to support its growth. 5. Notes The seedling stage of petunia is longer and the true leaves grow slowly. During the germination period, the temperature should be kept at around 20℃, the soil should be kept moist and loose, and sufficient sunlight should be ensured. Petunia seedlings have weak root systems and limited ability to absorb water. The soil should be kept moist and avoid waiting until the soil is completely dry before watering; at the same time, sufficient light should be ensured, but avoid direct sunlight. If petunias are iron deficient, the leaves may turn yellow. Iron can be supplemented by watering with ferrous sulfate solution. In addition, since peat soil substrate is prone to lack of iron, thin fertilizer should be applied regularly to supplement trace elements. The above are the cultivation methods and precautions for dwarf morning glory. In the past, many friends did not take morning glory seriously, but now they can appreciate its beauty.
