Does anyone have any information about how to care for a Petunia?

I receive one free, and I mainly would like to know if you can keep them inside. Any other information about them would be great!Does anyone have any information about how to care for a Petunia?I have kept a petunia alive and flowering in the wintertime. (Actually, I dug it up from my garden where it had been planted in the spring -- it grew beautifully the next year when planted outside again.) You have to keep it by a sunny window, in fact, it is one "houseplant" (if you can call it that) that must be close to the window. As an annual (a plant you grow outdoors for one year), it needs lots of sun and quite frankly, a good soaking when watering. When the flower blooms fade, break them off the plant. This is called deadheading and it forces the plant to continually set blooms throughout the season. I have also found that at some point during the summer, it is best to trim petunias back a little. This produces branchinig and more flowers within a week or so. If you allow a petunia to "vine" too much, it might stop flowering altogether -- I've even seen some die. Hope this helps. A little shot of miracle grow -- a mild solution of it -- every once and while in the winter would not hurt either -- although I have to admit, I've never had to do that and still got lots of winter blooms. I do give potted petunias outside though a couple of such doses of fertilizer throughout the summer growing season. Hope this helps. Good luck. P.S. If brought indoors, the petunia must get aclimated (used to) the room that it is in.Does anyone have any information about how to care for a Petunia?
You can keep them inside, but they like a lot of sun and if it doesn't get enough, it will die. Also, it is an annual (which means it's only meant to live through the summer, then die), so it MAY make it through the winter, if you're lucky, but it probably won't just because of, again, not getting enough light.Does anyone have any information about how to care for a Petunia?Petunias are annuals. To keep them alive, you must pick off the dead or wilted ones so that the plant won't dry up and go to seed. Give them a little Miracle Grow once in a while and they should be dandy!Does anyone have any information about how to care for a Petunia?
You can keep them inside in a pot by a bright sunny window.. to take care of them keep them watered.. pick a day.. Say Saturday.. water a glass full of water. or to check to see if it needs water stick your finger in the dirt if it is dry up to your second knuckle it needs water if it is damp no water.

when the blooms die pick them off it will keep them blooming for a very long time. better out side but inside in a sunny spot works too. i use to put mine in hanging baskets in the house just to have something blooming in the winter time..

good luckDoes anyone have any information about how to care for a Petunia?Petunias are very easy to care for. Plant it in potting soil and water it every day for about a week and than every other day after that. Keep it by a window because it likes sunlight. It takes awhile for it to get bigger and than gets beautiful blossoms on it.Does anyone have any information about how to care for a Petunia?
Petunias would really rather be- outside. They like lots of bright sunshine, watering twice a week, %26amp; to have their dead flowers picked off. If you HAVE TO grow it indoors- put it in your sunniest window, %26amp; water it like I said. Either way- it should bloom until October when you can throw it out.Does anyone have any information about how to care for a Petunia?
I think it is better plant the petunia outside or plant it in the pot and place the pot out door,because the plant need lot of sun.Pinch tips about 1 inch to make it bushy. Mulch to conserve moisture.Fertilize every 3 or 4 week.To keep it blooming you must Deadhead every day,if you can.If plant get leggy,cut back about 1/2,so that the plant will rejuvenate

Petunias are pretty easy to care for, and they are so beautiful! They need lots of sun, and lots of water. It is also good to feed them with MiracleGro about once a week or once every other week. If they start to wilt, they need more water. I'm not sure about keeping them inside...I've never done that...but I think it would be okay as long as you have a nice light place for it to be. Also, when there are dead blossoms you need to pinch them off right at the base of the flower. This helps encourage new blossoms and keeps your plant healthy.
