Petunia Celebrity Mix

Culture guide

Usage

Landscape/bedding plants, mixed containers, hanging baskets

Sowing method

1-2 seeds/pills per plug

Germination

Stage I: 3-5 days at 72-75 °F (22-24 °C); use well drained media with low soluble salt levels and pH 5.5-5.8. Requires light for germination. Before sowing treat the substrate with fungicide. Water adequately after sowing to completely dissolve the pellet. Don’ t cover seed. Keep soil very wet for optimal germination. Supplemental lighting (100-500 lx) during germination promotes a uniform germination and improves a compact plant habit

Growing on

5-6 weeks after sowing transplant 1 plant in packs or pots 9-10 cm (3,5-4’’) or 4 plants in baskets.

Media

Use a well-drained, growing substrate with 15-30 % clay, 1,5-3 kg/m³ complete balanced fertilizer, 0-3 kg/m³ slow release fertilizer (3-6 months), iron-chelate, micronutrients, pH 5.4-6.0.

Temperature

Grow at 14-16 °C (57-61 °F). For early selling the plants should be hardened at 10-12 °C (50-54 °F) slowly within 14 days. Temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F) will inhibit the growth and can lead to injuries on a long-term basis. Petunia does not tolerate frost.
