I think you deadheaded a bud that was about to open.... but, otherwise, perfect advice. My old farmer dad would have loved and highly approved of this tutorial. Then he would have talked to you for another hour about petunias. :)

Thank you! I've been doing it wrong for years and I've got a basket of mini petunias and a flat of regular size. So this video was informative and timely. Short but sweet!

Thank you for the information. Didn't realize that I was doing it wrong. Now I know better. Appreciate all of your advice.

Thank you SO much for the short and informative instructions. Most gardeners are too chatty for simple instructions

So helpful. I was just having this discussion with my neighbor. I had no idea and she said she just pull the dead flower. Now I will tell her the right way, and why it’s done this way. Exactly the video we needed. Thank you 🤗🌱

Me, when he pinch off a newly born flower :

I learned myself because sometimes on rare occasions, moving from indoor to outdoor, If you bump into the plant, you will see them actually bend just at the crown. The easiest indicator! I have a "Misty Seas" plant from 2021 still blooming! Repotting is key and watering twice daily when it's above 75 degrees Farenheit. Deep watering is only necessary when first repotting into a larger planter.

Oh my goodness… THANK YOU. I have two baskets of petunias and wasn’t sure which way to do it so I have been experimenting on them. One of them I do it wrong (unknowingly) and the other I’ve been using clippers under the leaves. Im so glad you cleared this up 🙏🏻

Hi, the one that you just deadheaded looks to me as if it was about to bloom. How can you differentiate them? Also how do you differentiate the growing calex with the ones that their flowers has already dropped. They both look the same to me 😅

THANK YOU for being right to the point! And showing exactly what to do and what not to do. I have just been plucking the flowers now going through ALL my flowers and removing and the ones i already pulled. Ugh! So many. And thank you to commenters for asking what is the different ones to pick and not to pick. Bc i had some that look like ready to bloom w seed. Good to know. Thank you

Best showing of deadheading.. all other videos I couldn't tell where they were pinching I knew it wasn't the bloom but I couldn't tell if they went behind those green leaves or not

[bridgetg]
