Most places in the city are not suitable for planting, unless there are rooftops and village houses with open sun. Not every family is suitable for planting.

150 Verbena
Red/Pink/Purple
Verbena (scientific name: Verbena venosa) is a popular flower plant, loved for its beautiful flowers and relatively easy cultivation methods. The following are the planting methods and precautions for Verbena:
Basic requirements
Soil: Verbena is not demanding on soil, and is suitable for loose, breathable and fertile soil. You can mix garden soil, leaf humus and river sand in a ratio of 1:1:1, or use general nutrient soil45.
Light: It likes plenty of sunlight, and should maintain good light throughout the year, especially in summer, and does not need shade47.
Temperature: The optimal growth temperature is 5 to 25℃, cold and heat resistant, but too high temperature (over 30℃) will affect growth12.
Planting method
Sowing:
Sowing in spring (April-June) or autumn (January-April), the suitable temperature for germination is 15-20℃.
Soak the seeds in water to remove inhibitors, then sow and cover with a thin layer of soil, keep moist, and germinate in about 15-20 days134.
When the main leaves grow to 6, the seedlings can be transplanted into pots2.
Cuttings:
Select healthy and disease-free stem nodes, cut about 10-13cm long cuttings (8-10cm in summer), and then bury shallowly in loose sandy soil134.
Keep the medium moist, and roots will grow into seedlings in about two weeks.
Care points
Fertilization: Apply liquid fertilizer every 7-10 days and slow-release solid fertilizer every 1-2 months. The application of phosphorus fertilizer should be increased during flowering to promote flowering14.
Pruning: Regularly prune dense branches to promote ventilation and light transmission. Heavy pruning should be done once a year after the peak flowering period to promote the growth of new branches13.
Pest and disease control: Pay attention to pests and diseases, such as leaf miners and powdery mildew, and deal with them in time to prevent them from affecting growth12.
With these methods and precautions, even a novice can successfully grow beautiful petunias.
