How to fertilize Seaside Petunia
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Seaside Petunia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Help! White powder mold took over my million bells👎 I left for 10 days for a work conference and left my husband in charge while I was gone. The plant was healthy when I left, but I think they got some rain storms and he just left the plant outside during the storms👎 what is the best product to use to get rid of the mold? #MillionBells #powderymildewy

Clarification: my petunia is a survivor. It should be long dead by now, the ones in my mother’s yard are. If life finds a way, why snuff it out?
Personally, the constant dropping of leaves and shedding of dead flowers is more work than there is beauty. This spring I hope to add a few more colors to the pot, to liven it up and see if we can go another year. 🪴
