June: how to make a small-flowering petunias Super Ball
In June, petunia caught on as a permanent resident, and scored the first buds. It's time to take care of seedlings, ornamental plants giving three-dimensional shape by running the active growth of side shoots and stimulating set of multiple buds.
And already by July petunia transformed. Rather unpretentious strung stem crowned 1-2 gramophones, you will see the magnificent "ball", covered with colorful flowers and under preparation replace them buds.
The article you read tips on how to make it as simple as possible. Save the publication in a social network, so that useful information is not lost and was always on hand! Information relevant to the petunias in the flower beds, in pots and boxes on the balcony.
Petunia will bloom profusely, if you give it the nutrients
Petunia, behind which to care, flowers without interruption. In place of the fading flower immediately reveal 1-2 bud. But riot of bright gramophones impossible, if the plant is not getting enough nutrition in the first place - phosphorus.
The heroine of publications like "to eat." A large root system contributes to the rapid exhaustion of soil minerals and organic matter. Therefore, they start rapidly disappearing stock of the soil. By the end of June petunia can slow the growth and reduce the amount of flowering due to power shortages.
If you are not the owner superfertile soil, fertilize petunia. Here are some options:
- Special liquid form preparations with complex minerals formulated for flowering plants. According to the instructions, a solution and fed petunia on the wet ground. Usually summary to fertilizer requires doing it 1 time in 2 weeks.
- Add a little complex fertilizers with irrigation 1 time in 1-2 days. I do so. I breed 5-liter bottles in the drug dosage reduced by 3-4 times. I calculated that 5 liters should be 67 ml, but I am taking about 15-20 ml. Incidentally, in the heat I water petunia in the morning and in the evening, because the boxes are on the south-west balcony and thick instantly dries the earth.
- I alternating fertilizer mineral preparation with a solution of organic vermicompost. Again, at a reduced dosage.
Feed the 1 time in late June potassium monophosphate (Record with phosphorus - 50%). I call fertilizer "Blaster flowering." It is desirable to do, when it will grow side shoots. The result will be brighter!
We give shape
Petunia pinch two objectives. Firstly, having lost the crown, petunia starts compensate for the loss and mass-produced side shoots from the axils of leaves. Florist sees as a single stem turns into a bush. It looks much more decorative! Second, the more shoots - the more buds!
The best result comes if pinch shoots 10-15 cm. Intervals of 20-30 cm will have no effect dense population. The distance between nodes 5-10 cm were too small due to crowding shoots petunias will interfere with each other. Repeat the procedure from the very first - central - the escape, until you see the desired result.
I do not pinch and prune petunia. CUT is not only the top but also a piece of stem about 2 cm long, with leaves. If the shoot tip of a thin grow new branches, plant construction due to the weight of the side stems will be fragile, vulnerable to wind and rain. I have new branches grow from an already fledgling stem.
