- Are your petunias looking leggy and sad? I show you how I give them a good prune to revive my petunias for a longer, gorgeous bloom time. And I can still get seeds for next year.

I appreciate that you acknowledge how hard it is to cut off the prettiness. I always know it’s for the best but it’s difficult!
So true! It does make it easier when you go in and just cut a third since you will still have some pretty flowers to look at.
Thanks for being clear and concise without a bunch of fluff.
My pleasure!
Can't wait to see the updated video thanks for your time 🌹🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍👍
You are most welcome
I didnt know you could do this other than dead heading so many thanks for the video
You are most welcome!
I just saw this!! Very informative, as mine look just like these, but they are flat on the ground, not in a basket. WHERE/WHEN can I see the update on how your petunias re-bloomed? I have never clipped mine, because I didn't know I was supposed to. Mine look like long green ladders with pink petunias at the ends, and they have been in full bloom 4 months! Thank you so much for this great video - geez, it's 3yrs old. Let me know when you did an update on this, please - thanks again. -New Gardener
Cut your petunias back by a third to 2/3. Here is a video that shows some petunias that had been pruned back 3 weeks prior to filming. It is at the 3:33 time mark of the video: ruclips.net/video/JMeejk71VkU/видео.html Hope this helps!
what video shows the new blooms?? I need to cut mine back never did this before soo scary!
I hear all your hummingbirds!
They are fun, aren't they? I have 6 feeders up and they all get used. The mamas line the babies up on the feeder then stand guard so no male will try and chase them away.
Thank you 😅
No problem 😊
I brought home a bundle of petunias from store full of blooms 4 days later going leggy already.
Should I already start pruning back ?
Feeding with miracle gro 24-8-16
All purpose fertilizer.
Yes, you can start pruning them back already. That fertilizer is a bit high in nitrogen, you may want to scale back on it or get one that is more balanced. High nitrogen will cause lots of lush green growth.
WELL I cut mine back and was so scared they looked sooo bad but now after a few weeks they are blooming again. I have Petunias
Great news! It can be intimidating.
Did you ever do the 2 week follow up video? What did they look like after pruning?
The video was a failure but if you visit the blog post I have an after on another pot of petunias I pruned. www.flowerpatchfarmhouse.com/reviving-potted-petunias/
i pruned all my petunia plants back {properly} but.. for 8 days now they keep blooming back but ALL the flowers are like... coming in dead. every morning i wake up to lots of flowers but they are ALL closed and shriveled up... its in rich well draining soil and getting lots of good light i keep the soils pretty moist but definitely not wet... they were doing great when i was simply dead heading but once i PRUNED them this is happening😫😪 i can not find any info online or youtube...can any one help PLEASE :(
Wow, that is different. How about the new growth, is it suffering too? You must be in a much warmer area than I. Mine won't be blooming for another month or more.
I really need your help with my petunias they're looking really awful in their hanging basket. Is there a way to send a photo to you for advice? Thank you
Sure, my email is pamela@flowerpatchfarmhouse.com
Whats a seed pod
The little brow egg shaped thing that develops after a flower blooms and fades.
No offense! But I'm mortified at seeing all your dead blooms 😄 bc I go out every morning & cut off the wilted blooms so they don't go to seed. But... I wasn't sure where exactly to cut to prune the whole plant back. Thanks for your video! I'm going out to prune mine now. It's gotten really leggy, it's still full but, hanging over the edges of my pot somewhat. Time to cut back! ✂️ Have a great day!
I deadhead as much as I can but I have a lot of plants that need dead heading so I make my rounds as I can. Some will get ahead of me but it is what it is. I don't want 😉
I could not find the video of September to see what happened, but they looked in this video decimated. yellow leaves and I think you cut too much at once.
I prune my petunias like this every year and it works just fine so it must not be too short. They don't mind a good prune at all. In fact the thumbnail photo is of a basket of petunias that has received the very same treatment and were in much worse shape...see this post: www.flowerpatchfarmhouse.com/reviving-potted-petunias/
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse Thanks ! I will check
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse Can I cut right to the level of soil because there is not a new growth that meets the stem. It is naked stem. I hope I don't kill that part.
@@charocflores If I am understanding you correctly, yes you can.
Do you not dead head, why buy wave if you don’t want the lengths ❤️👉🏻🇨🇦
I dead head as needed, I love the length of Wave petunias and the ones I had this year are still blooming beautifully. I am not sure why you think I don't like the length of Wave petunias. Sorry that I am confused.
