@tylerandthaliag1: People always ask us how we maintain such healthy plants, and it's simple. Pruning and fertilizing. Pruning is necessary to keep the health of many plants, especially petunias. When petunias start to get leggy, the plant will spend way too much energy trying to get nutrients to the bottom of the bloom. By giving it a trim, the plant spends less energy because it doesn't have to travel as far. You will see more of a flush around the base and then outward. This results in a well, rounded plant. When to prune: you want to prune when the plant is leggy and you start to see less growth up around the base. DO NOT wait until it is completely bare around the base of the plant. By that point, even pruning might not save the plant. A simple trick is to trim along the rim of the container. This ensures you don't trim too deep. You can do a lighter trim along the top just to shape up the plant. Feed, Feed, Feed: anytime you prune, immediately followup with a water soluble fertilizer and incorporate a fertilizer into every 4-5 waterings. Have any questions? Ask away! This is something we do quite often in our greenhouses throughout the growing season. For reference, the wave petunias being trimmed in this video was planted at the end of February, so right at two months of growth.
