Setup, Compatibility & Care
Planting:
- Choose a location that receives full sun.
- Prepare the soil to be moist and well-drained.
- Plant the petunias, ensuring adequate spacing.
Watering:
- Water regularly, particularly during dry periods. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Care:
