Onderhoudsinstructies
Petunia axillaris requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and should be watered when the soil partially dries out. The plant thrives in moderate humidity and should be protected from extreme cold. Regular deadheading will encourage continuous blooming.Oogst
Petunia axillaris, commonly known as white petunia, is typically grown for its ornamental flowers rather than for harvest. However, if you are collecting seeds, you should wait until the flowers have bloomed and the seed pods have matured and dried on the plant. Harvest the seed pods by gently pinching them off the plant. Ensure the seeds are fully dry before storing them in a cool, dry place. Regular deadheading of spent flowers can encourage more blooms throughout the growing season.Bodem
Petunia axillaris prefers well-draining loam soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. A soil mix that retains some moisture but drains well is ideal.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize every two weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth and abundant flowering. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.Verpotten
Repot Petunia axillaris when the plant outgrows its container or if the soil becomes compacted. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its current pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Voortplanting
Petunia axillaris can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date or take cuttings from healthy plants in the spring. Ensure the cuttings have at least two sets of leaves and plant them in a well-draining soil mix.Snoeien
Prune Petunia axillaris regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove spent flowers and any leggy or damaged stems. Pruning will promote more vigorous flowering and a healthier plant overall.Toxiciteit
Petunia axillaris is not toxic to pets or humans. It is safe to grow in gardens and homes where pets and children are present.Aanvullend
To keep Petunia axillaris looking its best, consider using a mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Regularly check for pests such as aphids and treat them promptly to prevent infestations.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
