    On 4/25 I sowed petunia seeds for the first time from a beautiful lilac petunia I had 3 years ago. They all germinated! I am so excited but now what? It's 5/12 and they are on their 2nd set of leaves. Should I leave them to grow more leaves? Should I keep just one plant per pot? Do you pinch back petunias to make them fuller? Do you have an update video for these petunias? I would love to see the final product from your seedlings!

    • @gapey
      @gapey  4 года назад +2

      Yes, should definitely thing them out to one plant per pot. You can move them to a 4 pack or 6 pack starter tray and once they fill that in put them into a bigger container. A lilac petunia sounds lovely!

    When you do herbs, do you pull each plant apart like the petunias? With herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme, I was thinking about putting a whole seed plug into a solo cup rather than pulling them each apart. I use the overseeding method. Thoughts?

  • @milinlim5211
    @milinlim5211 4 года назад +1

    Did you leave germinate the petunia seeds under sunlight and which month did you start the seeds? I kept mine in the shade and it has been 2 weeks and they still look thin and weedy.
    After reading some of the posts, I move the seedlings into the sun!! Do I need to pinch to encourage branching?

    • @gapey
      @gapey  4 года назад

      I started mine inside under grow lights. Might depend on the type of petunias you're growing.... If it's the wave type then probably don't need to. These ones though I think I did pinch some cuz they were getting too tall and not bushing out.

  • @janettreadwell7958
    @janettreadwell7958 9 месяцев назад +1

    You didn’t show from seed to starts, you just showed potting up seedlings, do you put on a heat mat or cover with dome, cover seeds or surface sow? Some say need’s light to germinate some say lightly cover with soil 🤷🏻‍♀️

    • @gapey
      @gapey  9 месяцев назад +1

      I sprinkle the seeds on top of seed starting mix and lightly press into soil but don’t cover with soil. I do put humidity done on until they germinate to keep soil from drying out too fast. If my grow room is under 70 degrees Fahrenheit then I will use a heat mat.
