Growing Petunias from Seeds

Petunia Stars Seeds When to Plant

• Prepare the Seed Tray – A shallow seed tray or small pots with a light, loose potting medium work best. The best variety to use is a seed-starting mix.
• Sow the Seeds – The seeds of the Petunia are too small. Plant them on the soil’s surface but not buried since they require light in order to germinate.
• Water Gently – Sprayed the ground with a spray bottle so that the seeds will not be dislodged.
• Cover the Tray – Cover the tray with plastic wrap or clear cover in order to seal in the moisture.
• Petunia Stars Seeds Give Warmth and Light – Place the tray in a warm spot (70-75°F or 21-24°C) and give it bright, indirect light or a grow light.
