Time To Trim Your Supertunias!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2018
- Yes, it can be scary! Trimming back your Supertunias this time of year will actually result in healthier plants you can enjoy well into Autumn. Here's how!
We bought Two flowering petunia plants. I knew how to deadhead but I wanted my daughter to watch it. Thank you. Love my plants. 😊
If you only have a few plants, you can take what you cut off and break or cut some off the leggy off then stick the good parts in another container and they will grow and continue to bloom. It fills in some gaps in other containers or makes a new container. I do this a lot since I don’t have that many of them and my budget doesn’t allow purchasing a lot of these. 🌺
Thank you for sharing. I did not know this, I'm going to try it this summer and also tell my daughter. She lo es to start plants like that❤
This is an issue for me. I keep on planting the cuttings🤣 I dont want to waste a potential plant but now I ran out of pots. Literally finding myself getting dixie cups.. I need to control myself 😂

I'm very lucky - Over the years, my backyard rabbit friends have developed quite a taste for Proven Winners supertunias and they do a very nice job of keeping the potted plants trimmed when the overhang gets too close to the ground. Young cottontails seem especially fond of supertunias so it is a win-win for all concerned!
A few sprays of Plantskydd in spring (very ugly but the color goes away) will have your young cottontails looking elsewhere for dinner! In personal experience the granules are not as effective. This is not a Proven Winners product but it works! Any new growth also spray, it is a systemic treatment that actually changes the taste of the plant, not topical which washes off. Good luck!
Thanks for the tip - I'll have to try that product in a few places next year! I must admit though, I don't really mind the little bunnies because they never seem to bite off any higher than they can reach from the ground and most of my pots are fairly large and tall.
Your enthusiasm is wonderful! Thanks Laura!
GREAT VIDEO. WHAT WORKS FOR ME IS TO PRUNE WHEN YOU HAVE 2 TO 3 DAYS OF OVERCAST WEATHER TO PREVENT PLANT SHOCK
that is so simple yet so inspiring and useful and informative , thankyou soo much , keep up the great tutorials , 👍
This past year I cut back my petunias about three times. It was hard because there were a lot of blooms, but each time after a couple weeks the hanging plants were fuller and full of blooms. I fertilized my hanging petunias every Monday with Miracle Grow and then regular watering throughout the week.
We are so happy to hear that this worked for you, as scary as it is. We have all been there the first time! Thanks for watching!
I love Miracle-Gro, that's what I use on my petunias. Good stuff.❤
Laura reminds me to go water,and smile!
Thank you so much for this video ! I did exactly what you said to do and mine can back soooo beautiful!!
Your videos are always very informatic and specific. Thanks a lot , keep doing this and I learn a lot from you. Appreciate it.
Hare Krishna. So beautiful plant🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Oh my how embarrassing. I've been doing it wrong all this time. Thank you Laura. Also LOVE Proven Winners!
Lol!! Agree! I am ashamed!! BUT my Proven Winners refuse to die despite my horrible antics! Love that brand.. serves me well ❤️
great video, but would be even better if you showed the plant a few weeks after you have trimmed them! ;)
It usually only takes about 1 1/2 weeks to get the flowers bushy again and lots of blooms after a major trim. I've cut mine back at least four times already. They really look like something out of Better Homes and Gardens.
Fantastic, I love your video's...
Hi first of all u have very beautiful smile like flowers and I like ur style of simple way teaching u have a tons of information about plants thanks for sharing this wonderful information god bless you
Excellent, looks much better. I needed to see this.
Thank you. Going to do this now. My tunias are looking tired.
Excellent video. My flowers looked like this and I was wondering how to prune them to make it fuller.
Wonderful!
Love your channel! Very helpful information and you seem to love whatcha do!
Great video. Just now watched this , it's April 23, 2023. Lol❤😂❤
Thank you for great information!!
Super helpful thanks a lot Laura ❤️❤️❤️🌸
Can you tell us what kind of fertilizers you just used? It'll be nice to list products you use in description below. Thx in advance.😉
Marie Acuna Just use banana peels, cut them in tiny pieces an deep them in the soil. You won't believe how many flowers your plants will make.
Hope you do several followups so we can see what happens. Thanks.
Thank you will do this more fertilizer! 🙂🌺
So informative! I really like your videos. I'm learning so much. Thank you Laura.
THANKS ....was wondering about trimming ..first year growing flowers and bought PW purple and variegated purple..they are gorgeous but starting to look stringy
I bought a few supertunias not in best shape. Used PW fertaliser when planting. Gave them a little haircut. 1 went in pot 4 in ground.
I kept the cut flowes in a vase with water and was able to keep them for weeks.
Awesome, some one said on here that you could trim them up and cut the bad part off and make sure the stem was cut good and stick them in dirt and they would keep on growing. That's awes6. I'm growing to do this so I can have petunias everywhere and putting them in a vase for fresh cut flowers. Thank you for sharing.
I just trimmed mine and potted several cuttings with the excess. They will be big and blooming by the time the mother plant is spent... at least I hope since it's only mid June
Does that work for you to plant petunia clippings directly into soil? I've tried rooting them and that never works!
great info...thank you, i hope it works on mine they look like supertiredtunias
Thanks for video very informative. Can you take cutting from the discarded leggy branches and grow on for next year.
I stuck a piece in the ground about a week ago and it's still bloomed out!
Oh wow so much easier, I didnt know you could do it that way. Thank you for the video.
Thanks aunty they is looking good now
Hi Laura
How many super Tunias are in that pot. I have a large pot as well but not sure how many to add. Thank you 🙏
If you are using traditional Supertunias, 3 or 4 would fill this, if you are using Supertunia Vistas then 2 plants will work. Enjoy!
I did this in my back yard and looked like a psycho to my neighbours , I was butchering and enjoying it … maybe I am a psycho 😂). But my petunia was not a petunia anymore but a leggy monster ready to start walking around the yard , lol. ..yes definitely psycho 🤔 .
😂😂😂😂 me too. We all love us some beautiful petunias. 😅😅
Could you show us what the plant looks like in 1-2 weeks, please?
This is an older video, and we do not have a picture of this exact plant. But what you can expect two weeks later is a fuller plant with more blooms.
Hi Laura. Im in zone 7a and was insipired to plant SUpertunias and Petunias mainly because of you and I’m loving them. I started buying them from a nursery with 3-4 blooms around late April and they have grown huge and still alive now that its June. Do you have an idea how long they would normally last in my zone? They’re in my garden everywhere and I want to plan ahead in replacing them once they are done.
Much of that depends on weather. When the hours of sun and warm climates shift that is when the plants Supertunias might seem a bit tired. But if you want to keep them going strong remember full sun, consistent watering (do not let them dry down) and quality water soluble plant food every third watering is the secret!
Great info
I just remembered. Once I was in really beautiful harden centre in London , looking at some gorheous pansies and a man came along and said to me "If you stay longer you will turn into a flower" and he vanished probably fearing I.might tell him off.
Great video but be careful with those scissors
Could you give us link to the fertilizer you recommend? Thanks.
Hi Yokie, for this time of year we do recommend our water soluble plant food, thanks for asking, www.provenwinners.com/catalog/proven-winners-plantcare-food-soil-seed-starting-eco-pots
I did this yesterday, it was painful lol
Julie Hinkel me too 😖😖😖
Going to do mine this evening. I’m already dreading it 😢
Dont worry its like cutting you hair for a better a beautiful hair growth... i do this often with my plants and they love it... specially sick plants or plants who are in shock
I'm glad I saw this. I've been thinking of cutting mine since it's already running through the floor but I don't want to hurt the plant. Thank you for sharing.
Can I also cut the sweet potato vine?
Yes. I keep cutting mine back all through the season.
Hi Joanie, yes, trim the sweet potato vine all you want! They can try to take over a container so trim away!
Thank You
Thank you
I know this is awhile later but I love you videos and wondering if you do the same for tidal wave petunias?
Looks like she took off way more than 20% though...
What is the additive Laura adds to the soil? She sprinkled it on top.
It is most likely our granular slow release plant food, here is a link, www.provenwinners.com/catalog/proven-winners-plantcare-food-soil-seed-starting-eco-pots
Today is first day i see PINK on all 5 plants
Hello, could you please tell me what kind of slow releasing fertilizer you use.
Thank you
Yes hope we get an answer. I was gonna ask the same question too. 😉
That is a slow release fertilizer from Proven Winners, here is a link, www.provenwinners.com/catalog/soil-plant-food
Proven Winners thank you! Just ordered some!
What brands or types of fertilizer do you use???
Laura uses our water soluble plant food for her annual plants, we offer this product online, and many independent garden centers also offer it. Thanks for asking.
my friend what type of petunias it is
Can you root the cut off bits?
You can always try!
Do these come back every year or do you plant them again each year?
Putunias are annuals so that means you have to plant them again every year
Great video. I’m learning a lot from you. I have one question. Do petunias winterize out in the cold or should you shelter them away from freezing temperatures?
Petunias are annual plants, so they will die off when the first or second frost comes through your area. You can try to shelter them but depending on where you live that might be be easy!
Hello -I watch you on a daily. How often do you you use the release plant food on your petunias. If I have the aquapot can I place it in the tube and then fill with water? Or is it best to place it on top of the pot.
Best to mix it in with your water, and then fill your AquaPot with that water. That way the water to plant food ratio is correct, not matter how much water you add to the AquaPot.
How to propagate these kinds of plants?
how would you trim supertunia that are planted in the garden bed landscape?
If they need to be trimmed because they are looking leggy, you can cut back no more than one third of the plant, then water well and include a quality water soluble plant food.
Beautiful flowers
I have to do this! I thought they were going to die soon!!!
Are supertunias the same as wave petunias?
Drew, thanks for asking. Each is produced by a different company. Supertunias, particularly our Supertunia Vistas, are incredible growers and come in a wide range of colors, as does Wave petunias. Depending on what your garden center chooses to carry, you can be confident that either one will perform well in your garden. We appreciate you watching our channel!
Beautiful! M y supertunias have never looked like this.I put it in the sun but it always ends up dying. I don't know what I do wrong.
Consistent watering and the use of a quality time release food, and then a weekly dose of water soluble food is the trick.
Must water EVERY day. Water until water runs out of pot. Feed Miracle Gro a half tablespoon in 2 gallon watering can every week. If needed trim 1/3 off each branch every month to six weeks. Your plants will look amazing.
Why cut those lovely beautiful flowers? Sad!!!
Thank you so beautiful omg much
Should you trim supertunia vista if they are planted in the ground?
If they are looking leggy you can, but if they look great then no need to trim, thanks for asking!
Hi I keep hearing the terms "stringy" and "leggy" what does that mean..i have baby petunias just a few inches tall so i wanna know what to watch out for.
Didnt know were suppose to trim those petunias I was always told to take the deadhead off
I don’t know why I proven winners instruct people to only take 20% off. I’ve never seen anyone take 20% off! And to be honest, I go in with my Supertunia’s! I takeoff 75 to 80% almost every time and I’ve never had any problem with them rebounding
We are glad to hear that a harder trimming works for you! Thanks for sharing.
My supertunias did not do as good, I watered and fertilized, but were not that full and bush😯
Are they getting a full day of sun Sherry?
Flowers is perty, i always thought that.
I wish Proven Winners Organic products!!
Would this help marigolds produce more blooms also?
Typically no, marigolds only have one bloom per stem and do not produce new blooms along the stem like petunias do.
Could we do the cuttings in late august?
Yes, still plenty of time to enjoy a fuller, prettier plant!
Do you keep your seeds from petunias?? Have you ever grown petunias from seed?? 🤗🌸☀️
Hi Vicki, our Supertunias are sterile, which means they do not produce seed, instead all of their energy goes into producing beautiful blooms, not seed. Thanks for watching.
Proven Winners thank you for the reply! 🤗☀️🌸
I did this to my petunias and it went all dry and dying. They weren’t happy. Made me cry.😔😔😔
Well the secret is to not only trim them back, but water well and use water soluble plant food every third watering, we hope yours pull through!
Proven Winners I watered it and used water soluble plant food miraclegro and just went completely miserable. I did it to my 2 pots and both dying.
Placed an order of bubblegum supertunias. Do deer eat them??
They might, but deer prefer to not bend over that much. Plantskydd spray is a wonderful deterrent, and though the color is not pleasant please know the plant absorbs this spray and the color does go away. Will protect your plants all summer since it is systemic--meaning it changes the taste of the plant. Others, such as Liquid Fence are topical applications and they do wash off.
@@provenwinnersgrowers okay good to know I guess I'll just plant them in the fenced back yard near the gladiolus Stay safe!
I have Vista fuchsia and daybreak charm in the same pot. Fuchsia is still going strong , but the other's foliage is yellowing. Any advice?
You can reduce the watering and see if Daybreak Charm recovers. Supertunias are actually a bit drought tolerant.
@@ProvenWinnersUA-cam
Thank you. I'm in eastern Pa and we've been getting hammered with rain lately. I should probably move the pot to the porch or install an umbrella!
Yes, petunias are a bit tougher than our Superbells, those are plants that really do not like their roots to sit in water, I have been known to run out on my deck and put those pots under the eaves of the house before a storm! The excess water drains the plant of its nutrients, so good plant food should help, along with less water.
Vista Fuschia's growth habit, if I remember correctly, is almost twice that of Daybreak Charm. Even though both are heavy feeders during peak, you can't feed and water Daybreak Charm the same as Fuschia. You're gonna starve and overwater Morning Charm. Cutting Fuschia the same size as Morning Charm won't work. Fuschia is gonna dominate because its roots are bigger, better, stronger.
Since the issue was 11 months ago, my advice is to select supertunias (any aggressive annual) with very similar growth size and needs for the same open container.
My wish is for proven winners to come here in the Philippines
👍🏻👍🏻
why does the rain kill my flowers on my super tunia?
Rain doesn't kill plants, unless it is coming off of a chemically treated surface, or if it is an extremely hard rain?
@@ProvenWinnersUA-cam well my plants were doing and looking great till it rained yesterday and now almost half the blooms look dead. I live in the mountains and there is no chemicals that i know of. its heart breaking to see them in this condition. we have bought PW super tunias for the last few years and this never happened.
Thanks but I just trimmed mine before I showered 😅🚿
how fun do have a rubber duckie?? :)
Folage??
If I need to split a Supertunia, can I root the parts that I needed to cut?
Not sure if those will root for you in water, anytime you mess with a rooting system, especially of an annual, it might not have a positive outcome. Perennials and shrubs are more forgiving.
I’m ashamed to say my petunias looked a disgrace this summer, leggy, with the odd flower on the end! 😂l had no idea they needed to be cut back, also l should have fertilised more . Next year l will have prize winning petunias !
It's not too late, petunias thrive in cooler weather, so you might want to still give it a try this year.
Do you dead head your petunias
Vous êtes paysagistes ??????
Non, nous sommes une entreprise qui élève et vend des annuelles, des vivaces et des arbustes à fleurs.
bonjour mD pourier vous parler en francais svp merci
Ouch! Lol
I am sad when you cutting those beautiful flower.
Her voice...
Will close my eyes and cut them off!
That's 50% , not 20% . Ha ha
😆
🇦🇺🇦🇲👍
No
Cruel lady 😀
i always laugh when people say they are going to take 20% off and its really more like 50%
