Make it a habit to deadhead your petunias once or twice a week. The more consistently you do it, the more your plant will reward you with vibrant, continuous blooms.
💡 Bonus Tips for Healthier Petunias
- Trim leggy stems: If your petunia plant is getting long and spindly, cut back a few inches of growth to encourage fuller, more compact plants.
- Feed regularly: Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 1–2 weeks to support all that new growth and blooming.
- Water properly: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Hanging baskets may need daily watering in hot weather.
🌼 Final Thoughts
Deadheading your petunias the right way makes all the difference. By removing the entire spent bloom — including the seed pod — you help your plant focus on what you want: bigger, brighter, and more frequent flowers.
