Just, you know, Luna doing #fireflypetunia things. (I sent a note to the Greg admins asking if we can get Petunia hybrida "Firefly" as its own identification; we'll see I suppose)

Firefly petunia has browning leaves I just got this guy and he looked so great when he arrived, but since I put him outside he’s dropped all his flowers and the leaves are browning! 😭 instructions say he likes full sun so he’s out on the porch, internet said they don’t want to be too wet so I let him dry out a bit before watering again as he was wet on arrival. I really want this guy to flourish! #FireflyPetunia

Leaves browning? I recently got this petunia as a present and I've never owned a petunia before. It went through a dry spell while I was trying to keep it indoors, and it began drooping. After some quick research, I started watering it better and moved it outside into part-full sun. It bloomed, grew, and became much healthier. Recently, the older leaves started to brown and die. Any thoughts? #petunia #happyplants #beforeandafter

What can I do to get rid of these tiny bugs?? My petunia is infested either these tiny green and white bugs (I hope you can see something in the photos). I don’t know how to get rid of them: I truene removing them manually but they’re too many… Any advice would be much appreciated 🙏🏼🥺

My fireflies are blooming but the leaves are sparse and yellowing! They were acclimated very slowly. Is it too much water, too much sun? Soil getting too hot from pot? Help! They were a Mother's Day gift from my son.

Firefly petunia help… 😭 So a few months back I got this lovely firefly petunia, put it outside, and boy he was sad. Per some suggestions I brought him back in a repotted him in normal soil and he bounced back. I never tried to acclimate him outside I just have him under a grow light with my indoor plants, but now he looks as bad as he did when he was outside! I feel guilty every time I look at him, what do I need to do to make him happy? #FireflyPetunia #help

How do you guys deal with the height they grow to. I had one previously that grew to around 4ft but this one I want to aim for a more bushy plant. Any tips?? #Petunia

Possibly Dying? My lovely petunias, Fraya, I got recently (I believe the 11th) because I felt as though these little guys could use some extra TLC their flowers are drying out near the edges, and I just had an entire flower, not even fully bloomed, fall off this morning as I was checking on them. I watered them the day I got them and am planning on getting a larger pot within the next couple of weeks. I am placing them outside for about 3 hours in morning sunlight then I move them to my northwest facing window for indirect light the rest of the day. If there is anything else that I can do to try and help keep these beauties alive please let me know ❣️ #plantdad #petunia #plantsmakepeoplehappy #newplantdad #sickplants
