Cultivation methods and precautions for double petunia

The double petunia is a beautiful ornamental plant. Its flower shape is particularly beautiful, and the petals overlap and are colorful. When it grows up, the density of the flowers is particularly large. It is suitable for placing in the garden or indoors. It can beautify the environment and adjust the mood. But how should this beautiful double petunia be cultivated? I will write down its cultivation method later, and you will understand it after reading it.

1. Choose the right soil

When growing double-petal petunias, you must choose suitable soil. It likes loose, fertile and well-drained soil. When making potting soil, you can mix sandy loam and humus soil in a one-to-one ratio, and the soil should be slightly acidic after mixing.

2. Fertilizer and water conditions

The double petunia is a fertilizer-loving plant. After it enters the peak growth season, it must be identified in time and continuously supplemented with nutrients to ensure that it continues to bloom. You can choose a thin liquid at any time. After it enters the flowering period, it must be fed with more rain to keep its flowers bright. The double petunia does not require much water. It only needs to be watered moderately at ordinary times. As long as the soil is not too dry or too loose, it can grow healthily.

3. Plenty of sunlight

The double-petaled petunia is a light-loving plant. It must be provided with sufficient light during normal cultivation. The time it is exposed to sunlight cannot be less than six hours a day. Only sufficient sunlight can allow it to photosynthesize normally and grow vigorously with lush leaves and flowers. If the light conditions are insufficient, its branches and leaves will grow too long, and it will bloom fewer flowers or have poor quality flowers, affecting its ornamental value.

4. Temperature regulation

When growing double-petal petunias, you must also pay attention to temperature regulation. This plant grows fastest when the external temperature is between 13 and 18 degrees. It cannot be placed in an environment below five degrees in winter. If the indoor temperature is below four degrees, it will stop growing, and when the temperature drops below zero, it will die from frostbite.
