Transfer or fertilize petunia in peat pellets
Comments (1)They don't need any fertilizer right now until they develop more leaves. Right now they have tiny little roots that couldn't take in fertilizer anyway and you will do more harm than good fertilizing them. Wait until they have their second set of leaves and then fertilize with a weak solution. Just after transplanting time is a good time to give them their first weak 1/4 strength fertilizer. I am not a big fan of peat pellets or jiffy pots. You are going to have to be careful you don't overwater now that they have sprouted. Get yourself some colored plastic, paper or foam cups and punch holes in the bottom for drainage if you don't have pots. When they have their second set of leaves then peel off the outer covering of the peat pellets (it won't decompose) and transplant. If you do use the jiffy strips, peel it off too before you set them outside....See MoreNo more Peter's 20-20-20 fertilizer
Comments (6)I'm not following your gist here. Are you saying you are not able to get Peter's anymore for some reason and need to find another brand with a similar formulation, or that you can get Peter's but not a formulation with minors. From the last I heard, Peter's family product lines are up and running under the name of Jack's Professional. I've linked to it below. Go to their product description page and it gives the breakdown of all the familiar lines. Are you saying you are interested in obtaining these for retail sales? The reason I'm asking is the product with minors is what I use for bedding plant production using a soil less mix. It is recommended to have a product with minors for this use. For general purpose home gardening use, it's OK, but usually just a plain old GP formulation if fine. Here is a link that might be useful: Look familiar?...See MoreThanks Eggo!

Comments (12)I've never seen root rot on a jaboticaba. Mine, which are in ground of course, are in the lowest point in my entire property. There have been some multi-day rain events that have left standing water in this area for a full 10 days without any root issues. During dry season, I'll let the hose run completely flooding the area. That doesn't leave any standing water for more than a day, but I usually have to do it a day or two in a row before flowering commences. Good luck.

Comments (5)Seems that all greenleaved ones are picking up - and variegated are still in limbo. May be you will collect them in separate trays and continue feeding? I would be trying to wake them up - may be repot... extra TLC. But - if all green leaved survive - you will oodles for spring...they are already need to be spread....See Morebspofford
