It was such an emotional rollercoaster 😂 reminder to self: trust the expert, trust the process 😅

I trimmed mine last night and felt that “guilty twinge” but I know I made those petunias very happy. So, I am happy! 😊

Yes you did!

Thank you sooo much for the closeup shots - many times people show trimming from a distance which doesn’t give me sufficient teaching to be brave enough to prune back enough.

Glad it was helpful!

I love that you put the Supertunia Vista Bermuda Beach with the new yellow Saffron Finch! It’s gorgeous!! 😍

It is a nice mix

Please let us see this in a couple weeks. 😮 I’ve seen the length around the pot cut back but never all on top. 😀

This was a drastic presentation for those who have a bad looking top

Very rarely fertilized my pots of annuals. You have convinced me and I have used the PW once a week. Great results! TY!

It feels like plant “murder” but so worth it in the end! Thanks for the lesson!😊

Yes it is.

I do this as well when I saw your video last year & what a difference. I'm a big believer in ferlizing (Ferlizing Friday) but honestly it makes so much sense feeding your plants. You spend so much money, so why would you NOT? Sending good vibes from zone 5b. Your 🇨🇦 garden gal 😊

I’ve been doing the same thing to my petunias. It definitely takes at least two weeks for the new growth to fill in.

@gardencrossings 15 күн бұрын

It does take a few week but so worth a fresh looking palnt.

What’s the fix to help the soil/plants if water runs right through?

@lisag6796 21 күн бұрын

Jenny from Creekside Nursery suggests to soak baskets in a tub of water for 30 minutes. When the baskets soil is really dry, the water runs off as if the soil is like concrete so no absorption. Soaking works, I do it all the time. I bought a cement mixing tub for around $11 to use as a potting tray but also use it this way.

@gardencrossings 20 күн бұрын

Yes may need to submerge the pot to let the soil get saturated.

@altheajackson5701 18 күн бұрын

So Heidi should I water my plants first then fertilize? My plants don't flourish like what I see on your videos- learning 😃

@gardencrossings 15 күн бұрын

Water daily and fertilize weekly with a water soluble fertilizer.

@lisaspacek1101 21 күн бұрын

Can that fertilizer be used on vegetables as well?

@gardencrossings 20 күн бұрын

I would say it could if in a pinch.

My impatiences planted in flower beds are leggy where do I trim ?

@gardencrossings 20 күн бұрын

We have also trimmed Impatiens, they dont flush out as fast as petunias.

@febakoshy8888 21 күн бұрын

This fertilizer stains. Anything I can do for that ?

@gardencrossings 20 күн бұрын

I am not aware of it staining, but i suppose if you have a new white cement patio you may see it.

@Linda-gi8pr 21 күн бұрын

that was hard to watch

@cshieldsie9920 21 күн бұрын

And impossible for me to do! I do give my petunias a trim - but that was a buzz cut 😆

@gardencrossings 20 күн бұрын

Yes it was.

@ashleesorensen7834 19 күн бұрын

I thought we weren’t supposed to trim more than 20% off the supertunias. 🤔

@gardencrossings 15 күн бұрын

It depends on how they look. This was a nice looking plant so i did not need to trim this hard. But i did want to show people you can if you have to and they will flush back out. An update video will be coming soon.
