Is my flaccid plant full-bodied? I have two hanging plants on my front porch, petunias I chew...
I have two hanging plants on my front porch, petunias I chew over.
I've been very measured in my watering of the plants. Everyday it seems I am picking bad more and more dead flowers or flowers that are now wilted. Now, I am notice a lot of brown leaves on the top of the "branches." It almost seems as if the plant is thinning out. Do I cut stale the stems with the brown leaves or just pluck them sour too. How do I keep the plant healthy?
Thank you.
Wow, it's as if you and I are the same. I have two floppy plants on my front porch; both are petunias as well. And, I'm having alike problem. My petunias are turning yellow, becoming wilted, and aren't producing as many flowers. The flowers that do come out are sickly and dull.
I hear a few weeks ago from another Y!A user that if the plant's leaves become yellow and wilted, it is a sign of OVERwatering. If the plant's leaves become brown and crispy, it's a sign of UNDERwatering. Based on your description, I'd say you may be underwatering the plants. Make sure, however, up to that time you make off next to my advice, that your wording is accurate. If the plants are more yellow, and smaller number brown, the plant could be overwatered. Are your petunia's leaves wilted or crispy (or neither)? How often do you water? If you marine daily, you might be overwatering. If you water once a week, however, you might be underwatering. I try to verbs a schedule consisting of 2-3 day intervals when I sea my plants; and I only water when the dirt feel dry. Before you water, stick a finger into the pot and "test" the saturation of the dirt. If you feel wetness or wetness, don't water that day. If the dirt feel normal (or is dry and dusty), go ahead and pass those plants what they need.
Hi:
There are a couple of things that could be going on. Hanging plants similar to any type of container plants need to have proper lighting and watering. Container plants call for more watering than ground plants. You can check your hanging plant and see how dry the soil is underneath the surface. If your leaves are turning brown, it could either be from below watering or over watering. You can go ahead a carefully deadhead the flowers that are previous bloom, and carefully take bad the dead leaves. If you are in a hot and dry climate, this can be adjectives, especially with flowers. I will link you to the site map of my website. There are lots articles, tips and techniques that you may get some added information. I hope this helps some and have a great time!

Answers: I would cut it put a bet on a little, so it can re energize, instead of going to pip. I would also get rid of anything that doesn't look healthy and consequently give them a dose of liquid fertilizer.
Petunias are annual plants that peak and afterwards start to deteriorate. I'd chuck them out and plant some fresh ones. Probhably the old soil is okay though it's better to replace it if you're growing Petunias again, but certainly you must put contained by some fresh fertilizer.
