Petunia Mirage yellow pack of 40-50 seeds Imported

Petunia Mirage yellow from seed can be a rewarding process, but it requires patience and attention to detail. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

1. Petunia Mirage yellow Gather Supplies:

• Petunia seeds
• Seed starting trays or pots
• Seed starting mix or a well-draining potting mix
• A small sieve or mesh (for sifting soil)
• Clear plastic or a humidity dome
• A grow light or access to bright natural light

2. Prepare the Soil:

• Fill seed trays or pots with seed starting mix. Ensure the mix is light and well-draining. You can use a mix specifically designed for seed starting or create your own by combining equal parts peat moss, vermiculite, and perlite.

3. Sow the Seeds:

• Petunia seeds are tiny and need light to germinate. Do not bury them in the soil. Instead, sprinkle them evenly on the surface of the moistened soil.
• Lightly press the seeds into the soil or use a piece of cardboard to gently press them down.

4. Watering:

• Water gently to avoid washing the seeds away. You can use a spray bottle to mist the surface until it is evenly moist.

5. Create a Humid Environment:

• Cover the trays or pots with clear plastic or a humidity dome to retain moisture and create a warm, humid environment.
• Keep the trays in a warm area, ideally between 70-75°F (21-24°C). Petunias generally require a bit of warmth to germinate.

6. Provide Light:

• Petunia seeds need light to germinate. If you don’t have bright natural light, use a grow light placed about 2-3 inches above the trays.
• Keep the light on for about 14-16 hours a day.

7. Germination:

• Petunia seeds can take 10-14 days to germinate. During this time, keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
• Once seedlings appear, remove the plastic cover or dome to prevent mold and allow for good air circulation.

8. Transplanting:

• When seedlings develop their second set of true leaves and are large enough to handle, you can transplant them into individual pots or larger containers.
• Hardening off: Before planting outside, gradually acclimate the seedlings to outdoor conditions over a week or two
