Description
Product DescriptionThe popular flower of the same name derived its epithet from the French, which took the word petun, meaning tobacco, from a Tupia Guarani language.
An annual, most of the varieties seen in gardens are hybrids. Petunias are one of the most popular bedding flowers. Petunias grow best in full sun, although they will tolerate dappled shade, especially in hot conditions. They need well-draining, slightly moist soil. In soggy soils, they become leggy. Regular deadheading also improves their appearance. An early and midsummer application of high-phosphorus fertilizer improves both blooms and vigor.
From the ManufacturerSeed Sowing Now Simple and Easy With Kraft SeedsPrepare soil before sowing the seeds, by mixing Agro peat or Manure with soil (30:70), this will help in germination of seeds. If you are not able to find good quality Agro peat or manure, you may also use the available soil. Care needs to be taken to see that the soil is clean from any weedorinsect.
Now open the seed packet on a white sheet of paper as while opening the seeds might fall, which are not visible to naked eyes. After preparing the soil, insert the seeds into the prepared to half (0.5) inch of depth. While watering, care needs to be taken to only sprinkling water through a sprinkler or manually using your hands hands, do not use pipe or a mug to water for the first week, as the force of water might damage the seed germination process. Germination may take place 10-18 days, depending upon different varieties.
Once the seeds grow in to seedlings, say around 3 inches, then you may transplant the seedlings to various pots or desired areas. The sapling needs to be checked at regular intervals to ensure it is not infected by any weedorpest or insect and if you find any such thing on the leaves or in soil then you may spray (Chloropyriphos/Cypermethrin) on it. Use Kraft seeds - Organic Manure once in 15 days for the growth of the flower/plant.
