Blossom Medley: Petunia Mix Grow Box

Growing petunias from seeds using the provided materials is a rewarding gardening project. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you:
1. Prepare the Pot 
- Fill the pot with the ready-to-use potting mix, leaving some space at the top to accommodate watering.

2. Sow the Seeds 
- Sow petunia mix seeds on the surface of the potting mix evenly.
- Lightly press the seeds into the soil, ensuring good soil contact.

3. Watering 
- Water the soil gently until it is evenly moist but not waterlogged. Use a watering can with a fine spray nozzle or a spray bottle.
- Keep the soil consistently moist until the seeds germinate, which typically takes 7-10 days.

4. Location 
- Place the pot in a location that receives full sun. Petunia plants thrive in bright sunlight.

5. Nutrification 
- Once the seedlings have emerged and developed a few sets of true leaves, dilute the concentrated root fertilizer according to the package instructions and apply it to the soil.
- Additionally, use the plant nutrifier spray to provide supplementary nutrients to the growing plants.

6. Maintenance 
- Monitor the moisture level of the soil regularly and water as needed to keep it consistently moist but not waterlogged.
- Use the scraper tool to gently remove any weeds or debris from the surface of the soil without disturbing the seedlings.
- Apply the bug deterrence powder around the base of the plants to deter pests. Follow the instructions on the package for proper application.

7. Thinning 
- Once the seedlings have grown to about 2-3 inches tall, thin them out to ensure proper spacing. Petunia plants should ideally be spaced about 10-12 inches apart.

8. Ongoing Care 
- Continue to water the seedlings regularly, especially during hot or dry weather.
- Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming.
- Fertilize the plants with a balanced fertilizer every 2-4 weeks to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering.

### Tips
- Petunias are relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, but they still require regular watering, especially during dry periods.
- Avoid overwatering as petunia plants prefer well-draining soil.
- Enjoy the colorful and abundant blooms of petunias as they grow, which can add beauty and charm to your garden or containers.

By following these steps and using the provided materials, you should be able to successfully grow petunias from seeds. Happy gardening!
