- choice of location. The fact is that flower cultures have different attitudes towards sunlight, air movement, temperature;
- selection of suitable colors;
- the size of the pots. Small pots are suitable for lobelia, well, but petunia is actively growing, so for it it is worth taking a vase or container of a larger volume;
- soil preparation.It is preferable to use the store version, since it already has a composition that meets the flower's nutritional needs;
- regularity of watering. The soil in the pots dries out much faster than on the plot. In this regard, watering should be daily, except for rainy days. You should also pay attention to the presence of a pallet. In regions where it rains frequently, it is not needed. And if there are many dry days, then you cannot do without it;
- reproduction. The best option is shoots. A shoot (without flowers) is taken and placed in water. When the roots appear, you can plant it in the ground. Watering is required frequently until fully germinated. Ready-made seedlings are sold in flower shops;
- pruning. This procedure is important when the grower maintains a certain big picture. But in most cases, the plants are pruned to maintain their shape and thin out;
- top dressing. Ampel plants for pots on the street need a regular supply of nutrients. This is done for the following reasons: soluble soil components are washed out with water; the limited volume of soil implies a rapid consumption of nutrients.
