Growing Conditions for Mixed Hanging Petunia Plants

• Light Requirements: Petunias thrive in full sun, needing at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for the most profuse blooms. They can tolerate light afternoon shade, especially in hot climates, but flowering may be reduced.
• Soil Type: Well-drained, fertile soil is essential. Use a good quality potting mix specifically formulated for containers. Petunias prefer a slightly acidic to neutral soil pH (6.0-7.0).
• Temperature: Petunias are tender annuals that prefer warm temperatures. Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. They flourish in daytime temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C) and should be planted outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures have warmed.

Planting Tips for Mixed Hanging Petunias

• Starting from Seeds: Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Petunia seeds are very fine and should be sown on the surface of a moist seed-starting mix, gently pressing them in but not covering them, as they need light to germinate. Cover the seed tray with a clear plastic dome or bag to maintain humidity and place in a warm (70-75°F or 21-24°C), brightly lit location (no direct sun). Germination typically takes 10-20 days.
• Transplanting Seedlings: Once seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves and are large enough to handle, carefully transplant them into individual small pots. Harden off seedlings gradually before transplanting them into your hanging baskets or containers after all risk of frost has passed.
• Spacing: Space plants about 8-12 inches apart in your hanging baskets or containers to allow for good air circulation and spreading growth.

Watering Instructions and Tips

• Watering Regularly: Hanging baskets and containers tend to dry out quickly, especially in warm and sunny conditions. Water thoroughly whenever the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
• Consistent Moisture: Maintain consistent soil moisture for best flowering. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, but also avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
• Watering Technique: Water gently at the base of the plants. Avoid splashing water on the foliage, especially in humid conditions, to help prevent fungal diseases.
• Consider Container Drainage: Ensure your hanging baskets and containers have good drainage holes.

Growing Zones

• USDA Zones: Typically grown as annuals in all USDA hardiness zones.
• Global Zones: Adaptable to most temperate regions worldwide as annuals during the frost-free season.
