I do not want and I will not. I save sowing petunias

Hello! Recently, I took up the pleasant chores - the choice of flower seeds for the upcoming summer season. For many years, I gave my preference petunias. It grows in me and in the country, and on the balcony. And before I have never been able to grow seedlings the most. She betrayed languished for no apparent reason!

I chose varieties that grow bush (for beds), and form a cascade (for the boxes on the balcony). This year I will plant petunias in peat tablet - that this method has shown good results. Be sure to write a detailed article on the channel - subscribe!

The packaging of the seeds and on the Internet there are recommendations to plant petunias in February or even January. To the time of landing on a flower bed plants were already in bud. But I decided that it makes no sense.

I live in the Tver region, and light day here is very short. Seedlings do not get enough sunlight. As a result, Petunia will not develop and will slow growth. No gain because I do not get an early crop.

Lack of sunlight causes the seedlings to stretch. They are obtained puny in appearance, with a weak stem, sparse leaves. Any error in the care - and petunia be bent.

Of course, it is possible to highlight the young plants with special lamps. But if I do it for the whole seedlings, planting a, then I go bankrupt paying for coverage and go mad from the fuss. So now I save the sowing of seeds of petunia seedlings for the first half of March or even the middle of it. Do not worry, the flowers will have time enough to grow up to the moment Bedding and balcony!
