Wowed......especially Dahlia
It appears that there are more than one plant in pots of petunia. Not recommended. Petunia is a heavy feeder and handsome grower. Such a small pot will never be sufficient for more than one plant and plants will demise soon. Its still time you can separate them.

yes farhan bhai i am agree with you .this is my first experiance with petunia and it is also my first successfull seed sowing experiment so they were in plenty and small plants and i was not aware that they will grow so vigoursly.now i think it is difficult to seperate them i will try to manage with fertilizer,but being a expert and senior gardener if you insist i will try to separate them.your advises are alwawys wellcome.

So many beautiful colors and all so clean. I also recommend you separate the petunias now, there's still time.

I would reiterate that you should separate them. its still time. You can separate them on this weekend when rainy weather is expected. As the pot size is small even one plant will suffer what to talk of so many. And in this way you are wasting a potential of sooo many blooms. If you separate them you will get ten times more blooms.

Dainthus, anemone, nemesia...........lovely. I doubt you are new to gardening :P(just kidding)....lovely

Don,t separate at this time.they are matured plants.but next year do keep space of 1 ft.If i am not wrong ,this is the Ultra series.it has spreading habit.annuals at this stage if replanted do not bloom.

Khan saheb I think I can count 7 or 8 petunias in what looks like an 8 or 10 inch pot! Are you serious in recommending not to separate them! They still look quite small and should be easily separable. Petunias bloom till June, that's a long time for these plants to survive in this small pot and bloom. Best to risk repotting I think.

i think umar khan saheb are right because they are matured plants and are on blooms if separated they will die..and they are five plants in each 10 inch pot..so their roots will be mixed and it will be difficult to separate them without disturbing their roots.between i will separate 1 pot tomorrow inshahAllah for experiment.thanks for timely advise..
