Bopon Surfinia and Petunia Liquid Multicomponent Mineral Fertilizer 500 ml

Petunias are generally pollinated by insects, with the exception of P. exserta, which is a rare, red-flowered species pollinated by hummingbirds. Most petunias are diploid with 14 chromosomes and interferes with other petunia species as well as Calibrachoa.

The tubular flowers are favored by some Lepidoptera species, including the hummingbird moth. The flowers are eaten by the larvae of the ear corn borer, Helicoverpa zea, and the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni

Petunias can tolerate relatively harsh conditions and hot climates, but not freezing. They need at least five hours of sunlight each day and thrive in moist soil and low atmospheric humidity conditions. They are best grown from seed. Watering once a week should be sufficient in most regions. Hanging baskets and other containers require more frequent watering. Maximum growth occurs in late spring. Daily or weekly applications of fertilizer, depending on the variety, will help the plant grow quickly.

In horticulture, many terms are used to refer to the different types of petunias grown. These include Grandiflora, Multiflora, Wave (spreading), Supertunia, Cascadia and Surfinia.
