Petunias are a classic hanging basket flower originally from South America. No spring program is complete without the vibrant colors petunias bring to your garden center display. With bigger flowers than calibrachoa, these plants can put on a show for your front display to attract customers inside. They work well in hanging baskets or as a flowering cascader in combination baskets.
General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Petunias, we recommend using a constant feed program of 250-300 ppm N with an E.C. between 1.5 - 1.8. Remember to leach periodically in order to prevent salt build up. Maintain a pH between 5.8 - 6.2.
Flowering
Petunias require high light intensity (full sun) for peak finishing. If you grow them in the shade, you will get stretching and lower bloom performance. For the long nights of the winter months, supplemental light is recommended.
Pinching
Pinchingis recommended 5-10 days after transplantation. A second pinch may be necessary depending on the size and shape of the final pot.
Spacing
Space pots adequately to allow for light penetration and airflow between foliage of adjacent pots. We recommend eight inches for 4” pots and twenty-four inches for 10” pots.
Height Control
Pinching and high light intensity are the best ways to control height. An initial pinch is recommended, but additional pinching may be necessary to shape your final product. Bonzi has been shown effective in 4” pot production.
Pests
Whiteflies, aphids, leafminers, and thrips are the biggest pest problems with Petunias.
Disease
Crazytunia Blackberry Jam are not prone to many diseases, but watch for botrytis while the days are short. This grey rot is usually associated with wet or humid conditions. You can prevent botrytis by allowing the plant to dry out between waterings, allowing for good airflow in your greenhouse, and spacing to allow the sun to penetrate to the soil level. The most common chemicals used to treat botrytis are Medallion and Banrot. Use them as a drench according to each label’s instructions.
Planting Crazytunia Blackberry Jam Liners
We recommend planting 4-5 starter plants per 10 inch basket. Use a well-drained soil in your baskets and plant your starter plants deep, allowing the ellepot to be completely covered by the soil. If you are planting 4” pots, 1 plant per pot should be sufficient if you have enough time. Plant it directly in the middle of your pot.
Pinchingis recommended 5-10 days after transplantation. A second pinch may be necessary depending on the size and shape of the final pot.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
