Normal for a Petunia??? - June 4th, 2005 at 05:17 AM
I got petunias from Sam's club last week. I have 2 questions.
#1...The one basket is doing GREAT, but the other one is not looking soo great. The flower have wilted and I've pulled them off, but it just looks.....uh...tired. I've switched the plant's positions to see if that was the problem...but no. I don't know what to do with the tired looking one and I don't want it to die!! Does it need miracle grow already?? Help! I need advice.
#2...When I put the petunia pots into the car, a piece broke off, but it had a couple of flowers on it, so I stuck it in a vase of water and put it on the table. After a few days, the flowers wilted and I pulled them off and noticed that the stem is starting to send out some roots. Is this normal for this plant??? How long should I keep it in just water before I plant it into soil? Should I put miracle grow in the water??
