Q: Petunias aren't exactly easy to grow from seedlings, but it can definitely be done and it usually means that you can cultivate more petunias for cheaper! Start your seedlings 10 to 12 weeks before you plan to plant them (early spring, is recommended, such as March in the northern climates). Try to get pelleted seeds, because these are easier to handle, especially for inexperienced gardeners. Petunia seeds can be difficult to handle, because of their size, so make sure you take that into consideration. Petunia seeds require specific conditions in which to sprout. They need somewhere warm and bright (about 70 to 85 degrees F or 21.1 to 29.4 degrees C) indoors, because they cannot yet handle being outside yet. Spread the tiny seeds on top of fresh damp potting soil or sphagnum moss. Make sure that you spread them sparingly, so they don't crowd one another out as they are trying to grow. Press them into the potting material gently or water with a fine mist to wash them into the potting soil. Cover with clear plastic wrap and store in a bright warm spot away from direct sunlight until they begin to sprout (which usually happens seven to ten days after planting). When the seedlings begin to sprout you will want to remove the plastic film. Move to bright, cool spot after sprouting. This usually takes place about seven to ten days after you plant the petunia seeds. Move them to a brighter, cooler spot after they have sprouted. The best temperatures are 64 degree F (17.8 degrees C) days, with the temperature at night ranging from 55-65 degrees F (12.8-18.3 degrees C). Water your petunias gently every few days. You will want the petunias to be at least four to six inches (10.2 to 15.2 cm) beneath the light fixture. Make sure that you put a timer on the lights so that they are lit between 16 and 18 hours each day. Raise the lights as the seedlings grow, so that there is always that four to six inch space between the petunias and the lights. You don't particularly need to get an expensive light fixture that is especial to growing plants. Ordinary fluorescent light tubes work just fine. Make sure that the plants are directly beneath the lights (unlike before they sprouted when you want the seeds away from direct sunlight). You'll know it's time to transplant the seedlings when they have three true leaves each. Then it's time to put them in their own individual peat pots or packs that hold several plants each. Feed them diluted liquid fertilizer until frost danger is past and you can plant outdoors. Be sure to plant in moderately fertile well-drained soil. You'll do this by putting the young petunias outside on days that are sunny and warm. When it cools down for the night, bring them back inside, so that they stay warm. After doing this for several days you can plant them outdoors permanently. It's best to transplant on cloudy days because the hot sun can make transplant shock worse
A: Start your seedlings. Prepare the seeds for sprouting. Take care of the newly sprouted seedlings. Place the petunia seeds beneath fluorescent lights. Transplant seedlings. Harden the young plants.

Article: Add 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons (37 ml) of black vinegar to a small bowl. Use a whisk to stir the ingredients together until they're completely mixed. If you have celiac disease or a gluten-sensitivity, be sure to choose a soy sauce that is labeled "gluten-free." Some contain wheat or other sweeteners and flavorings that contain gluten. You can usually find black vinegar at Chinese grocery stores or from online retailers. You can substitute Worcestershire sauce for the black vinegar if you prefer. When the soy sauce and black vinegar are fully mixed, add 2 tablespoons (25 g) of sugar to the bowl. Whisk the mixture until the sugar is fully incorporated. After the sugar is mixed into the dressing, add teaspoon (3 g) of salt. Use the whisk to mix the dressing until the salt is completely blended in. You can adjust the amount of salt to taste.
