Petunia Growing Season In India
Petunias can grow in all seasons throughout the year but spring (February to May) is the best time to plant. You can also sow the seeds from September to October when the soil temperatures are at least 21°C.
How To Grow Petunia
Most gardeners recommend the transplanting seedling method as it helps it to grow healthy and the petunia has no deep roots so it does not have any problem with the transplant. Since its roots are not long, a pot at least 9 inches wide and 6 inches deep is sufficient for planting petunia. The ideal temperature for petunia seeds to germinate is around 21-26°C.
Petunia Dwarf Stars Mix Seeds Sowing Method
Take a seedling tray fill them with a potting mix, spread the petunia seeds on the soil, and press them gently. You can also make your own potting mix by mixing 20% cocopeat, 30% vermicompost, 30% garden soil, and 20% sand. Petunias need light to germinate but do not place the seedling tray in direct sunlight, keep them in indirect sunlight. Water the soil gently and keep them moist until germination; petunia can germinate in about 1 to 2 weeks. After seed germination when petunia seedlings have a few true leaves, you can transplant them into pots or grow bags. Remember, plant only one seedling in each 9 inches wide pot for healthy growth.
