At the beginning of January, at the seven-day house, we actively discussed plant cultivation. And Tanechka (Tangeya) together with our florist

suggested
action-experiment on growing petunias for cuttings. I haven’t had such an experience yet, and I decided with pleasure to join this action.
Here is what a beauty has blossomed for the holiday on March 8!
Today's story is about a surprise from my petunia Double Cascade blue for the 8th of March.
03/01/20 I sowed 4 petunia granules in peat tablets:
2 pieces - Double Cascade blue.
2 pieces - Cancan Burgundy.
The petunias turned out to be fast, and after 8 days the little leaves turned green in the tablets.
The beginning of the story
A little more than 2 weeks later, the petunia roots began to "run away" from the pills, and it was time for them to move into larger pots. I carefully cut the protective mesh from the pills and transplanted the babies. Blue flag marked with petunia bushes Double Cascade blue.
First move
While my petunias were growing up, I fed them 2 times with FlorHumate Flower (HERA) fertilizer.
I have minimal experience with cuttings. Will learn. I cut the cuttings, dusted the ends with "root", put them in tiny pots, which I put in a cake box, and covered everything with cling film. Let them take root, and I'll watch.
Cuttings
While the cuttings were trying to settle down and put down roots (not everyone succeeded, but this is my first experience, in the future, I think, cuttings will be more successful), in two out of four petunettes, I decided not to pinch the crown, but to transplant them into larger pots. Moreover, small buds began to appear on the plants.
02/29/20. In new pots
Petunias are marked:
blue flag - Double Cascade blue
pink flag - Cancan Burgundy
Slowly cuttings take root and start growing. It's time to transplant them into larger pots - let them take root better and gain strength.
Resettlement of cuttings
This is my family of petunettes Double Cascade, blue, growing up now. What a pleasure it is to look at the petunia blooming on the window. This is very unusual and very pleasant.

P. S. Very soon, my second petunia will bloom - Cancan Burgundy. And I will definitely supplement this post with her photo as well. Let's admire together.
