Dengan hanya RM 3

dengan hanya RM 3,benih petunia yang di semai boleh dapat sangat banyak petunia. Sebenarnya kalo pergi mana2 nurseri ada banyak je yang jual dah siap berbunga dan semai. tp bila di fikir2kan ibu rasa mcm mahal...sebabnya. sepokok petunia yang dah fully bloom ada yang rege belasan ringgit dan ada juga yang jual dalam 8 ringgit sepokok.

Jadi ibu prefer semai dari benih,boleh je semai dari parent tp sebabkan ibu tak jumpa parent flower yang cantik ibu semai sendiri. lagipun,pada pendapat ibu la kan.....kalo semai dari benih,kita serba sedikit dah expose benih pada cilmate di kawasan rumah kita. jadi mungkin pokok tumbuh lebih lasak dan juga semai dari benih selalu bagi kita surprise apakah warna bunga yang bakal bloom. maybe semuanya sama je colour atau mungkin berlainan warna...siapa tahu.

Benih adalah dari diana KBB.  

                         tanam je dalam container dan gantung...senang.....

semaian petunia tak bertempat lagi.

sedikit info berkenaan petunia:

Petunias are one of the most popular type of annual. They are divided into two different groups: Grandiflora petunias have very large flowers and are best grown in containers or hanging baskets (because they are more susceptible to rain damage), and Multiflora petunias have smaller, but more abundant flowers and are ideal for summer bedding or in a mixed border (because they are more tolerant to wet weather).

Planting

You can grow petunias from seeds, but it is easier to grow them from transplants. If you are going to grow from seeds, start them indoors 10 to 12 weeks before you want to set them outside. Petunia seeds are very small and needs lots of light in order to germinate. Remember to water them. When the plants have three leaves, you can plant them outside.It's best to buy transplants and plant them in light, well-drained soil in full sun after the last spring frost. Petunias can grow in partial shade, but they will have fewer flowers. It's better if the plants have shelter from the wind.

Space the plants about 1 foot apart.

If you're planting petunias in containers, use a soil-less mix.

Care

Petunias are tolerant of heat so you don't have to water them regularly. A thorough watering once a week should be sufficient (unless there are prolonged periods of drought in your area). The spreading types and those in containers require more frequent watering though.Fertilize your plants monthly to ensure good growth. Double-flowered cultivars like a biweekly dose of fertilizer.

Remove faded/dead flowers to prolong blooming.
