★ How to: Grow Petunia from Seed in Containers (A Complete Step by Step Guide)

[@Thorn99855]

If you pinch out the tips when they are a couple inches tall and then keep pinching every couple of leaf pairs you will end up with much bushier plants. Also, it is helpful to keep removing flowers until you have the size and robustness of plant you are hoping for and then when it is big and bushy, stop removing the buds and let them go to town. It all depends on what type of form you are going for. There is beauty in the wispy and not bushy look as well. Aesthetics is in the eye of the beholder :)

What beautiful videos.. so informative! My Petunias are fabulous and I'm going to harvest some seed for next spring! I use them as cut flowers all the time.. They continue blooming from any little flowers on the stem and kook especially beautiful, I think, in a little mason jar. Cheers and thanks for the lessons!

[@livvynut]

I've only just discovered you and you've already helped me several times thanks

[@aylaaci]

I love you videos. Clear, short and informative. Re-using the plastic bottles is great idea! I do the same thing. I love using everything at least twice before dumping to the recycling bin.

[@sbrahaney8451]

First timer here. I LOVE all your repurposed items. Thanks for the info.

[@homebound_lovingit]

Thank you for sharing I love petunias! I’ve spent a lot of money on these !!

[@MelodyGardner-lw1bg]

You are so sweet! Love your teachings. God bless you and draw you to Himself. 🙏🏻

[@CocoDiorrr]

I just discovered how to save seeds from my current petunias, came across your video and looking forward to trying to grow then from seed next year!

[@ajdexter4195]

I'm 15 today! also fantastic video, I love petunias they are such dinky delicate flowers and the colours are just divine.

[@ProjectDiaries]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AJ! :)

[@FelineRM]

little late... but happy birthdayyy

[@ajdexter4195]

FelineRM thanks👍

[@byronscustoms]

Lee I am so sorry about your trials and tribulations you have experienced and are still experiencing! My wife is disabled as well and here in America it is just as screwy trying to get through the bureaucratic red tape! I wish you nothing but the best and please don't take offense when I say that through God all things are possible! You have an amazingly positive attitude and I know that you have given someone else hope through your videos! Please take care and don't lose faith!

[@charlaroo129]

I love petunias and every summer I spend a fortune buying them from the garden centre for my baskets. Just bought a pack of seeds today for just 79p. Wish me luck!! Lol

[@annewatman677]

I’m in Wisconsin and mine keep reseeding themselves. It started with some I purchased and put in pots. It’s August and I have loads of them!

[@rosfow]

So lucky. Free petunias!

[@DreaKisting]

Do they just fall back into the pot and grow?

[@annewatman677]

@@DreaKisting No, they fall onto the ground. I wish I could post a photo because it’s amazing to see them keep coming back and spreading. I had the pots near a little gravel walkway, and I know there was a plastic liner underneath. I think that over time, leaves, etc., deteriorated and made just enough *soil* for the petunias to grow. It’s a very fine gravel. I even spotted some last year in the dirt next to some iris. So, the petunias reseed themselves in the fall, and come up about mid summer the following year. I don’t even need to buy any now.

[@mellisak8504]

I've started some balcony petunias. Cheers!

[@ProjectDiaries]

Well done :)

[@noreenhollywood3120]

[@FelineRM]

hope you had the wonderfull weather that we had in belgium this weekend!!

[@thegingergardener9449]

Nice video as always dude!

[@ProjectDiaries]

Thanks :)

[@MrsGreenThumb]

I just love all your video. I hope your feeling better. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@Kristen-zy7ti]

Helpful video. Petunias are my favorite flower! I live in Oregon and I cant seem to make mine last long. My mom has her baskets until October! I just cant figure out her secret. Thank you

[@ProjectDiaries]

You're welcome. I hope she shares her secret soon :)

[@eshirsingh7777]

Very very nice 👍 You are laughing is nice

[@lindawitherspoon446]

Love this flower. It grows great in Texas.

[@byronscustoms]

Hello from Oklahoma, USA!! I really appreciate your approach to your how-to garden and more videos! I have 1 question and 1 comment for you. First, the question... why are "leggy" tomato seedlings bad? I mean they are a vine and some people believe the deeper you plant them or if you plant them horizontally they will produce more roots and be a healthier plant, so why would a "leggy" version be a bad thing? Secondly, and most importantly, I really admire you for taking care of and spending so much time with your grandfather! Both of my grandfathers are gone now. My grandfather on my dad's side passed when I was only 3 years old, I am 47 now. My grandfather on my mother's side passed away a year and a half ago, he was 91. I would love to be able to spend another day with both of them just to sit and talk to them about anything and everything! So in saying this, what I mean is, I hope you never take for granted or regret the amount of time you have to listen to him, even if it is him just complaining about the weather. Keep up the great work and if you ever get to jump the big pond, come visit Oklahoma! I could use some (physical) help with my garden! Lol! I look forward to notifications of your future videos!

[@lisakukla459]

Hey, I'm a gardener in Oklahoma too!! 👋👋 I'm in Broken Arrow; where are you? This is one of my very favorite channels for all things gardening.

[@byronscustoms]

Lisa Kukla I'm East of you outside of Inola. Finally rolled the dice and put a few plants in the ground... Crossing my fingers for no more freezes!!! Good luck to you in your gardening endeavors!

[@frisacruise3983]

ALWAYS HIT THAT LIKE BUTTON BEFORE I FINISH WATCHING THE VID. I super like the one with the pink heart (surfinia heartbeat) and black velvet. Btw you remind me of Harry Potter's evil aunt - Petunia.

[@ProjectDiaries]

haha! Thanks. I absolutely love the black velvet and brought some for this year :)

[@denisestone8491]

As always, great video. Thank you.

Thanks for another great video!

[@ProjectDiaries]

You're welcome :)

[@botanicaltreasures2408]

Really enjoyed learning the characteristics of different petunias. Quite helpful. I've used wave petunias in a plant tower. So graceful. I find that if I judiciously prune petunias and give them coffee grounds they last much longer. Did you know that petunias are closely related to tobacco which explains why a tobacco hornworm was happily munching away at them. Since it was such a handsome caterpillar I took the opportunity to have a photo shoot. The tobacco hornworm or Goliath Worm sequesters nicotine in its body so that its unharmed, but poisonous to predators.

[@ProjectDiaries]

I didn't know that. They are a very underrated flower and very beautiful :)

[@botanicaltreasures2408]

Petunias are wonderful flowers. They’re tough too in spite of their fragile appearance. We were delighted to get some black velvet petunias-absolutely stunning with white petunias. One friend said there’s no such thing as a black flower. Nobody else agreed with him. 😄 Have a nice day.

[@luvbaking1]

Omg thank u so much I’ve watched many videos & I was about to give up now next year I will try to do but of gardening lol

[@BrilliantLove2]

Makes me want to plant some!! 😀

[@sandrascovell30]

Hi! I've just received some Petunia seeds in the post (Night Sky Blue ) but we've just had Midsummers day and I wondered if it's too late now to sow them in the UK? Your advice is greatly appreciated ⛤

[@theguywholovesplants823]

Very very very very beautiful!

[@ProjectDiaries]

Indeed they are :)

[@charlesbale8376]

[@peacelily720]

I came across how to grow petunia from the seed that I collected from my petunia flower just like you did. I tried three times during this summer to jerminate them and sprout out really delicate then die back. It was really hard to grow from that point.

[@landscapinrick335]

Can you post the way you’ve transplanted and the pot sized you use! It’s mid summer here in Ohio now! How would they do if I started seeds now indoors

[@taariqq]

Thank you for the tip that they can be grown as perennials in warmer climates. Hope I can do that here in Karachi, Pakistan. Planting in a week's time. Couldn't find the video on 'hanging baskets'.

[@rainbowrapha]

very beautiful thank you for sharing with us.

[@botanicaltreasures2408]

I just had to buy some night sky 🌌 petunias for my garden. They are deep blue with white specks and splashes. Absolutely gorgeous-they do resemble the sky as seen through the Hubble Telescope 🔭. Hope you’re doing well!

[@keenansmith1021]

Do you have pictures of how they turned out?

Lovely and great info thanks for sharing. What is your favorite flower for hanging baskets?

[@fancynancy2134]

Omg I covered my seeds. I hope they will grow. 🙏

[@philipvaughan320]

Mine are about half and inch tall but appear to be dying 😟

[@HEYRICKFAMILY]

Oh dear.....I did too.....and now it's been almost 3 weeks and they are not germinating 😬 Did yours eventually grow??

[@fancynancy2134]

Sadly mine didn't grow at all. Maybe it's how I did them, and covered them or maybe cause I bought them at the dollar store. Idk! 🤷‍♀️😭

[@scoutiraya2023]

Wow this kind of plant is so adorable... Does petunia grow in tropics like the philippines?

[@tariqabudhabi]

Great video and instructions. Keep it up

[@gal2know]

Hi Lee. I cannot find your video on how to collect seeds from petunias. Did KZbin delete it?

[@franciscoflores55555]

Hey Lee, hows the marigolds doing? Im growing some and I'm finally starting to see some buds! Im just curious to know how yours are and if they've bloomed

[@chanramnarine4023]

Always love seeing you, fantastic! Keep up the good work.....Love to know what you think about 'hydroponics' is it good or bad?

[@ProjectDiaries]

Good to hear! Thank Chan. I'm actually thinking about talking about Hydroponics in my next Live video so watch out for that :)

[@chanramnarine4023]

Project Diaries, looking foward for it. Thanks, i value your opinion. I'm from Trinidad and hydroponics seem to be everywere. God bless.

[@ProjectDiaries]

I've actually seen a few documentaries on this. the Netherlands seem to be leading in it and it's slowly spreading across the Globe. If done right it could be amazing but there are so many mistakes being made even by "the pros"

[@chanramnarine4023]

Project Diaries , I'm hearing both negative and positive about this new way of gardening, about the chemicals that is added to grow these plants. But I will wait for your vid on this 👍😃

[@fadingdandelion4792]

Can you do a video on hostas about the seeds, and how to split and replant? Thank u

[@ProjectDiaries]

I've never even hear of them until you mentioned them. I'll look into them...

[@fadingdandelion4792]

Project Diaries thank u so much.

[@shammishafi09]

How many dwarf petunia I can plant in 16" long container?

[@MaggieBent]

Do the ones you harvest yourself stay true to the original colour?

[@jamesmcallister3878]

great video as always!! You should do some learn guitar videos as your side videos!!

[@patsyboucher1259]

That is so beautiful can i buy some of those seeds

[@theguywholovesplants823]

Good luck with those petunias

[@ProjectDiaries]

Thanks :)

[@nataliegonzalez5089]

We have been growing black petunias from the seed, and the seedlings began to sprout, but overnight by the next day the seedlings disappeared into the soil. Any advice, if by any chance there's a way to make these same seeds/ seedlings come back to life again ?

[@nataliegonzalez5089]

@project diaries

[@ProjectDiaries]

I've never heard of seeds going back into the soil. My guess would be they've been attacked and eaten over night by a pet :(

[@diyahfebriyanti5122]

how long it takes from planting seeds to flowering?

[@viola816]

1:16 - why peat free helps environment?

[@ProjectDiaries]

I explain a bit more at the start of this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZqvn6xparhsaLs

Hi! So i have a problem. I did everything you said to do but my petunia seeds dissolved. Is that okay?

How do you know they dissolved? They are tiny and black

I propagate them through cuttings. It's easier that way.
