Planting petunias for seedlings

Petunias delight our eyes from May to autumn with their beautiful flowers. They are used to decorate flowerbeds, flowerpots, rabatki, borders, and are used for landscaping balconies and loggias. Many gardeners buy petunia seedlings, because they have small and hard-to-see seeds, but I grow petunia seedlings myself, so you can choose the variety you like. Petunia is a plant that needs light for seed germination, so planting petunias on seedlings should not be done by embedding seeds in the soil.

I buy ordinary soil in the store, for seedlings, sift through a sieve and place in a bowl. I pour snow on top of the ground in a bowl (planting is done in late February or early March, when we still have plenty of it). And in the snow, using a toothpick, I carefully and evenly spread the seeds. If there is no snow, then it is recommended to mix the seeds with sand, for even sifting, and shed the soil well before planting.

After that, I cover the bowl with glass or put it in a plastic bag and put it on the window. The snow melts and moisturizes the ground, and the seeds end up on the substrate. As the soil dries out, I moisten it by spraying. When the seeds sprout (in 5-10 days), you need to ventilate the seedlings so that the condensation dries out, excessive moisture can lead to a black leg disease. You can simply flip the glass over or flip the plastic bag over to the other side. I plant the plants in separate containers when they get stronger and have a couple of real leaves. As you can see, planting petunias for seedlings is not such a difficult matter.
