Living in a flat and do gardening? Oh, please are you kidding me? No, I am not. This is true that I do gardening in such a small space/ or just enough space to put my pots and plants. I love gardening and trying to grow some flowers. This is one of them, the Petunia flower. How to grow the Petunia flower in such hot weather? It is impossible but I am trying... And now they are starting to bloom. I am happy to see it 😊
I didn't remember when I bought the Petunia seeds. Maybe around November 2019. After buying the seeds, 2 days later I sow the seeds in one of my empty pots. Well, at the time this pot was empty because our Rose flower died. Yes, I don't have yards, and it explains why I have to wait for other flowers or plants to die before sowing new flower seeds. I decided to grow the Petunia flower. I know we have hot weather in Singapore, but I have to try.
Surprisingly, 2 or 3 days after sowing the seeds were growing. I keep watching this baby Petunia every day. In November, the weather in Singapore looks cooler because of the rain. And the sun changes direction, at this point the sun doesn't catch our corridor. It means, my Petunia would be saved to grow. In my case, the Petunia flower needs light but not direct sunlight to grow. I also water them just once every 3 days. It depends on the soil that we use. I always love to use good soil, fertilizer soil. For me, by using such good soil, I don't need to water my baby Petunia every day. Too much water will make them die.
I watch my Petunia day after day until someday I realized that they are starting to bloom. What? Yes, my Petunia flowers are blooming. I am very happy. It happened in January, then they bloom and bloom, more and more. They are beautiful and nice flowers. I have 2 pots of Petunia Flowers. For now it only 1 pot the Petunia blooms. And I think another pot will bloom soon. I just wait and be patient.
So, what is the color they have? They are purple and white. But it is possible that might be they have other colors because it's mixed seeds. This flower is beautiful that every day they are facing the sun. They really like sunlight. Yes, in January the sun direction changes again. Now the sun faces our corridor. But my Petunia looks happy to face the direct sunlight every day. And yes, because now they are growing and blooming, I water them every day. They need water every day.
These are my experiences on how to grow the Petunia flower. This is my first time growing it. But it looks quite successful and I am happy to share it with all of you. The next flower that I will grow is Habranthus Robusta or Rain Lily. Sounds interesting, right? I am excited and can't wait to see its flowers! See you in the next article about Rain Lily!
