I think you deadheaded a bud that was about to open.... but, otherwise, perfect advice. My old farmer dad would have loved and highly approved of this tutorial. Then he would have talked to you for another hour about petunias. :)

I learned myself because sometimes on rare occasions, moving from indoor to outdoor, If you bump into the plant, you will see them actually bend just at the crown. The easiest indicator! I have a "Misty Seas" plant from 2021 still blooming! Repotting is key and watering twice daily when it's above 75 degrees Farenheit. Deep watering is only necessary when first repotting into a larger planter.

Hi, the one that you just deadheaded looks to me as if it was about to bloom. How can you differentiate them? Also how do you differentiate the growing calex with the ones that their flowers has already dropped. They both look the same to me 😅

@plantvibrations Жыл бұрын

They look the same on the plants you’re growing? Or just in the video. I can totally understand how they look the same In the video but i think in real life you can easily differentiate

@pnwequestrian Жыл бұрын

I agree, the first example was dead however the second was a new bloom. One easy way to differentiate is spent blooms are wilted, new blooms are firm. You will want to remove the mature calyx along with the spent bloom before the seed pod starts to form, unless you want the seeds. I use scissor pruners. Mature stems that have dropped their flowers will have a seed pod in the center. Hope this helps!
