Petunia - incredibly beautiful plant which usually blossoms is very abundant. However some gardeners time faced such problem as ""unwillingness"" of this representative of flora to blossom. The reasons of lack of flowers at petunia can be a little.
Problems with blossoming of petunias are observed generally at pottery representatives, that is those which are grown up at home or on the balcony. If to look narrowly at those plants which grow in the open ground then practically all of them it is abundant and beautifully blossom. Flowers in pots have color only in those cases if tanks in which they are put, wide and deep.
It is worth remembering that petunias well feel only in large number of the earth, therefore if you wish to see at yourself on the balcony obilnotsvetushchy plants, then land on one shank in volume not less than five liters.
If petunias are already planted in small pots, and quantity of buds very small, then and there is exit. First of all wait when the plant blossoms. Further, when the amount of colors will be more, than buds, cut off their stalks on third, take out flower from pot and cut off half roots. Take pot in two times more previous and plant petunia to the fresh earth. Put pot in the shaded place for week, previously having fed up plant (it is possible to use for fertilizing, for example, Monofosfat or Aquarin), and after time rearrange on solar.
Quite strongly growth and formation of new buds are influenced by care for petunia. That the plant blossomed long and is abundant, it is necessary to perform the following hygienic procedures regularly:
- if the flower is extended and has few side stalks, then it is necessary to pinch off top of the longest escapes;
- it is necessary to delete daily withering florets, and together with peduncles (if not to do it, then the plant will direct all the efforts on setting of seed boxes);
- it is obligatory to remove the whithered leaves, especially the lower part;
- in time to water and to feed up in due time. Petunias love abundant watering and badly transfer lack of moisture.
In general, these flowers are very much loved by heat and light, optimum temperature for their cultivation - 25 degrees, however and they transfer the 30th-degree heat not bad. If the petunia does not blossom, then review these conditions, if necessary warm balcony and establish artificial lighting.
