Now in bloom

Its time to transplant them up into a larger pot. I usually plant 3-4 seedlings per pot. Space the seedlings about 10 inches apart in a hanging basket or planter box and will make sure expose them sun light. These sun loving plants do their best when they get at least 4-6 hrs of direct sun each day, preferably direct morning sun I can't wait to see them display colourful bloom, will post the picture again next week.

Beautiful Petunias. They grow well
in my country too. I love them because they do so well in baskets and pots and have such cheerful colours. Yours look very well cared for. I usually buy the plants in punnets. But I am sure it is fun to grow them from seed.

So pretty! I don't grow them because I have too much shade. But this year I'm going to try million bells. One of my gardening friends has good success with keeping them blooming in her dappled shade, and I hope they'll bloom as well for me in my morning sun. I'm looking forward to reading more of your blog!

Indeed, my petunias are well cared for, I water and fertilize them regularly as they need alot, especially in our hot climate area. My petunias are grown from seeds saved from F1 hybrid as its hard to find them sold in our local nurseries. I do admire million bells, but I dont think they are suited to our climate, I hope you could post them in your blog..
