- Diseases/Pests/Troubleshooting: Avoid overhead watering to minimize wetting foliage as Hulahoop Series petunia seeds are susceptible to fungal and leaf diseases and gray mold if not properly ventilated. Plants are known to be susceptible to blight and tobacco mosaic virus, since Petunia x hybrida is closely related to the tobacco plant. Hulahoop Series petunias will benefit from shade and deadheading as they begin to decline in the long summer months. Petunias have no serious pests, but monitor regularly for aphids, flea beetles, slugs and snails.
