Petunia Care - Flower Bud or Seed Pod 

OMG Thank You a thousand times over. I have been asking this question to everyone. You are the only one to show me and answer the question. ❤️❤️❤️

That was perfect! I was so confused at how to deadhead the petunias. Thank you.

I was searching the web trying to find the difference between a seed pod and bud. It took an hour to find you. Thanks! ❤️❤️

Thank you!!! I posted this exact question on your other video yesterday. I couldn’t believe you were nice enough to respond personally and that you already had a video with my answer. I appreciate all you’re doing to help us newbies become successful gardeners :-)

Very helpful. Thank you! I learned that the further down the stem it is, that is is more likely a seed pod!

Thank you so much for clarifying the difference! I couldn’t find a video like this.

Thank you for this video! I am just getting into gardening and this is the best video I have seen on petunias! Do you have any tips on caring for Violas?

Ok cool this cleared things up for me. And by the way guys, when the seed pod gets futher along, it looks like a small green acorn. Case you're wondering.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

Thank you. I think I dead-headed some new growth. I'm still not sure how to tell the difference. The plant gave me some new flowers, also, so I guess I did something right.

BUT the question is...what does a tiny, beginning closed flower bud look like compared to a seed pod. Once they become "fluffy," as you say, of course, it's obvious. Either may appear at the top of the stem...one on the way in, one on the way out. So, I still need more precision and pics.

This was a great video! Very detailed thanks! Very helpful! Mine is sticky with little black seeds, what’s that?

Thank you soooo much!!

Your video are great .. Nice and good job

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! I love you.

I don't think I will buy petunias again. They are very time consuming if you want them to stay pretty. I have 5 plants that I got around Mother's Day and they're beautiful, but the downfall is picking at them everyday. Do I need to pick them off everyday???

Hi ,where can we buy wave petunia seed?

How is your lotus doing?

Should clear things up

I am a beginning gardener and this was an answer I have been searching for! Thank you!!! Very helpful.

This is what I needed. U get my like and subscribe just for this video. So many videos also from so called big time garden channel RU-vidr owning nursery, but they do not show this kinda details. I was almost to give up on buying petunias from next year. Thanks.

Oh my gosh thank you so much for this video I could never tell the difference between a new bud and one that's already fell off and then what it looks like.

thanks for the help! i’m attempting to take care of my first petunia and didn’t want to overdue it and accidentally take out new growth! 🙏🏻

We got a lot of rain, and now the leaves in the middle of the petunia are yellow, which I know means they got too much rain. Now it is getting dry, but the leaves in the middle are still yellow. Should I fertilize it with fertilizer and water in a sprinkler can? Should I sprinkle it directly on the leaves? Now the dirt is getting hard on top but soft beneath the crust. Thank you. I have had petunias before, but this is the first time I have tried to keep one going.

A very pertinent question- Extremely well explained

Fantastic! THANK YOU!!!

Fantastic video. Thank you so much!

Excellent - thank you so much. I didn't know the difference. You explained it well and the examples were clear and easy to follow.

Sooooo glad I found this video! You explained it well, not just telling how to deadhead but showed us the difference of what should and shouldn’t be snipped off! Thank you so much!!

Helpful! Thank you. I’m still not entirely clear on how to tell a shrivelled spent flower from a bud. Some of them look similar. I have purple petunias and I’ve noticed the tips of some of the “buds” are white and others are purple. I do understand what a seed pod is.

Bill thanks for that - I was one of the many followers who asked that question - much appreciated. I have to say, that without sounding conceited that I had figured that out and as I have said to you before, with the tips about cutting back and removing pods that my petunia is now outstanding. It is the best hanging basket I have ever had - thanks to your tips!!! Patrina - please don't give up - mine were like that like and now I have been left with an amazing plant. Love from Ireland.

Mine dont look like either, they look spent but no "chocolate chip"

V useful. Thank you

Thank you!!! Finally I know now!!

Thanks! Just what I needed!

Ok. Thanks for the info. Your videos are great!

Thank you !!! Half my petunias have started going to seed. Can't wait to see the resurgence of blooms thanks to your video!

So what do you do with the seed pod?

thanks for the help!

pretty good more!

Thanks man!

I pinch the crazy petunias back often, however I selectively choose where so as some have flowers still in the ends ( they'll get pinched eventually) as for the pods I pick em' off a little every other day or so.. Don't ya love it when a branch breaks off like that, self sacrifice I say...

Great tips, Thank you. I wonder if you also have tips on alhelias & rose care. I like them a lot, and recently I bougth some. I'm hoping they last me a long time just as nice and beautiful as there are right now.

Hi, how to grow petunias through cuttings? Thank you

I think I prune my petunias too much, it died :(
