Gardeners were told how to feed petunia seedlings so that they grow strong and lush

Not every flower grower will risk growing petunia seedlings on their own. It is easier to buy grown bushes on the market and immediately decorate the garden with them. But if you are determined to go through all the stages from a seed to a flowering flower bed, then you can’t do without the right top dressing.

In addition to providing suitable conditions (competent watering, optimal temperature and sufficient lighting), proper feeding at each stage of growth is of great importance for the development of seedlings. In the case of petunia, this is especially important, because. the culture is considered “gluttonous” – it requires a large amount of nutrients in the soil.

Timely introduction of the necessary macro- and microelements allows petunia seedlings to grow strong and healthy, develop a strong root system, abundant greenery and bloom even before planting in a permanent place.

Top dressing is critical in two cases: if the petunia seeds were originally sown in a poor substrate (for example, in peat tablets); if the seedlings grow for a long time in the same container without picking, the supply of food in a limited amount of soil is quickly exhausted.

But even when sown in “fatty” soil and timely picks without additional nutrition, it is impossible to get strong, healthy, actively flowering petunia bushes in the future. And you need to start fertilizing already at the initial stage.

It is not customary to feed a petunia immediately after germination, especially if you used pelleted seeds for sowing. The nutrient shell will dissolve after wetting and will supply the sprouts with the necessary nutrients.

If the seedlings are obtained from ordinary seeds, then spot watering from a syringe with a solution of a growth stimulator will help support their development. Ogorod.ru.
