- Petunias of the Tidal series are also excellent for hydration. And the soil should be loosened after each watering. This will distribute moisture more evenly in the upper soil layer. Also, the soil as a whole will be saturated with oxygen. This is great for the growth and development of petunia bushes.

- It is best to plant petunia in the summer, at the very beginning. Then the ground has already warmed up enough, and return frosts will no longer threaten the development of the bushes. If we talk about planting seeds for seedlings, then it is necessary to plant seeds at the very beginning of spring.

Petunia Taidal: varieties
Petunia Taidal is an ampelous petunia. This means that this petunia is of a completely different type - this is a giant petunia. This type of petunias is also distinguished by the fact that they have a wide variety of shades. The color scheme is presented in all its splendor on flower beds and in the design of sites, parks and urban areas. There are several main varieties that differ from each other in size, but to a greater extent in shades of colors.
Ampel petunia Tidal wave silver
This is a tall bush of petunias, which is simply dotted with beautiful flowers. Stems can range in length from 110 to 115 centimeters. It all depends on the weather and climatic conditions, the conditions for planting petunias and caring for them by the gardener himself.
The buds can be up to seven centimeters in diameter. In this case, the shades can be very different. These are both white delicate flowers and light purple petunia flowers. And also bright lilac and red shades.
In height, the bush reaches a little more than half a meter, but its diameter is almost three times larger. Since petunias require quite a lot of space, it immediately becomes clear that it is worth taking a good site for planting. On which it is not recommended to plant the same large-scale bushes, otherwise they will not take root with each other and will score the beauty of each other.
Ampel petunia Tidal wave red velor
From the name it is clear that the flowers are bright, fiery red. Taydal ampel petunia shows very intensive growth. Great for decorating backyards and flower beds, and for growing in a pot right on the windowsill or on the balcony.
The diameter of the flowers varies from five to six centimeters. At the same time, the variety perfectly withstands temperature extremes and changes in weather. It can be resistant to diseases and attacks from pests, as it has a high level of immunity and resistance to stress.
If you plant petunia not in open ground, but in flowerpots, containers or pots, then it is best to take a large container. Its volume must be at least thirty liters. The soil should be specially prepared, very loose and fertile.
The composition of the soil in equal parts should include such components as humus and peat, sand and sod. They are thoroughly mixed to form a uniform soil for planting petunias in it. The variety is also great for lighting, which is also worth considering when planting a plant.
There are a few more basic rules that are best to follow in order to get a great harvest.

- It is worth moisturizing petunias regularly. In this case, it is worth observing all watering norms. If the root system is too flooded, it will start to rot. Which will lead to the death of the entire plant completely.
- Withered flowers and leaves must be removed from the plant immediately. They can become a source of development of diseases. And also they can still force the plant to give them life-giving power, which means that new inflorescences will be weak and less decorative.
- Another rule is to loosen the soil at the roots. This is usually done almost immediately after the bushes have been watered.
Petunia Tidal wave cherry
This is an annual. The height of the bush may vary. The bush can be dwarf - only thirty centimeters, or it can be medium-sized - about seventy centimeters.
The flowers are bright pink in color; they are about six centimeters in diameter. This variety can be an ideal decoration for loggias or balconies. But it can also be planted in large flowerpots with several bushes that look great in a composition or just with each other.
The variety is distinguished by a high level of hardiness to severe droughts and heat, and to excessively cool weather. At the same time, cherry is excellent for moisturizing. So the bushes can be watered, but at the same time maintain the water balance.
There are several rules of care that are very easy to follow in order to get excellent petunia bushes. And at the same time, do not waste your physical strength, material and time resources. Sometimes the top layer of the soil should be thoroughly loosened, remove all weeds that can cause the development of diseases, fungi, infections, and also attract pests and bacteria.
If possible, then the bushes are best fed. Thanks to this, the duration of flowering will become even longer, and this will have an excellent effect on the very appearance of the bushes, and on their decoration of the site. Of course, petunias are ideal for becoming ornamental bushes, and this is their huge advantage.
Dry faded flowers, leaves and shoots are best removed in time, and in general, monitor the appearance of the bushes. The earth must always be moist. But at the same time not too wet, otherwise the root system runs the risk of contracting a fungus or other useless harmful infections. And then the bush may die, since it is much more difficult to fight fungi than to prevent them.
Tidal wave purple
This is a very tall bush - more than half a meter, usually sixty centimeters. It is dotted with incredibly beautiful pink flowers, which are also quite large. Most often, wave pearl is used precisely in order to become part of landscapes.
And also this variety perfectly adapts to a wide variety of weather conditions. And in this regard, gardeners do not have to worry at all about how the plant adapts. Will it continue to grow, and if not, then what it needs.
These whims will not exist, and this is a huge advantage of the variety. However, we will talk about the advantages of the Taidal view a little later.
In order to contain petunia of this variety, the following recommendations must be taken into account. The plant needs to be fertilized as often as possible. Because thanks to this, it will bloom more abundantly and for a long time. Particular attention should be paid to feeding when the flowers do not grow in open ground, but in flowerpots or pots.
Again, if petunia grows in flowerpots, then its volume should be at least thirty volumes, or even more. For the root system to fully develop. In general, petunia needs open spaces.Especially if it is initially implied that it will grow in a vase, pots, container.
As for the composition of the soil, at best it is necessary to take the soil to which sand, peat and perlite are added. It is thanks to this that the plant will be protected. And it will also grow and develop in accordance with what is indicated in the description of this plant.
Petunias love moisture, so do not forget about this important factor. Leaves and flowers that have already dried up must be regularly removed from the bush.
Tidal wave hot pink
This is another annual petunia, which differs in that it is completely covered with large flowers. And at the same time, the bush barely reaches half a meter. The shoots of the bush are very hard, dense, so it is difficult to damage them. And the plant is safe.
Also, the strength of the shoots protects the plant from pests and diseases. The length of the shoots varies from 80 to 110 centimeters. And the bush itself in diameter can reach enormous sizes - up to 170 centimeters. This means that the bush needs an extensive area for development and growth, a full-fledged demonstration of decorative properties.
Tidal Shock Wave
This is an early ampelous petunia. It is very small - its height is only 18 centimeters. The flowers are the smallest when you compare this variety with the rest of the Taidal varieties.
