I had to watch 5 videos on pruning until I finally found this one that showed exactly what I needed to see. He explains it simply & shows it up close so one can actually see what u need to. Thanks Steve!😁

This was just what I needed to SEE. Other videos were too far away to see just what was being done to the petunias to prune or deadhead them. This was perfect. THANK YOU!
Thank you. I am so glad I watched this video. I have been pulling the spent flowers,and tossing them in the yard. I didn't realize the seeds were in there. I know it's sounds like a duh! But live and learn .
Thank you so much for the up-close video on the details. the other videos forget that they are showing people something new that the viewer didn't know. Keep up the great videos.
This is a very clear and concise demonstration. I like how you zoomed in to get pictures of new growth forming. Previously, I never knew at what point you need to cut a leggy petunia off. Thanks for all the information.
Nice vi have one question... I want petunia should be giving flowers 100numbers....for which what fertilizer schedule we should follow... In anticipation for your kind favor pleasesdeo...i
Thank you so easy to see. My petunias are just beginning to flower, I'll know exactly what to do. Thank you😄 You know the seed pod you cut of after it had flowered can you get seeds for next year.?
That is a very good question. Unfortunately the seeds will not have matured in these pods. Therefore if your would like to collect the seeds, I would recommend not pruning some seed pods off so that they can mature. You will be able to collect seeds from these when they have matured. Hope this helps.
Steve, Fantastic informative video . Thank you so much for not dragging out the pertinent information that was very much needed . I specifically looked for a short video. You gave all the necessary information quickly and precisely . I look forward to watching more of your videos. I’m also a new Subscriber. Thank you 😊
Thanks for the info, I now know what I was doing wrong with my petunias. But my question is, if you cut off the seed pods after the flower has died. How and when can you collect seeds for the following year?
A good question! Once you decide to collect the seed pods, you would leave them on the plant. But of course this also means you have decided that the best of your plant for that year is over. Hope this helps :)
Just thought you'd like to know that today I watched this video and realized what I've been doing wrong with my petunias all these years! They always got leggy and didn't continue to bloom after the initial set of flowers. This season I'm prepared. This video from nearly 4 years ago is still helpful! Thank you :)
I have just watched this video! I have always pulled dead flower out and never realised you can get multiple flowerings out of petunias! Will be ready this coming spring and summer. Thank you Cathy NZ
Good question. Often we might use the term “pinching” when describing the removal of individual buds, while pruning might typically refer to a more overall trimming. Hope this is helpful 😄
Have they flowered in the past and have now finished? The first thing that comes to mind is access to sunlight - not receiving enough sunlight can affect the flowering of petunias. So please ensure that they are receiving full sunlight. Also, if sunlight isn't the issue and you are confident it is receiving the correct nutrients, then it may be worth giving it a good prune. Hope this is helpful.
Sorry, but no. The flower will develop in to a seed pod or fruit. If you collected the seeds from this seed pod after it matures, you could grow new plants. But during this video I am talking about how to extend the flowering of this particular plant. Hope this helps ☺️
Good question. Normally you would be pruning them off before the seeds have matured and are ready to germinate. But if you let them go, you could do exactly that. Hope this helps 😊
I found the best way for me is to locate wilted flowers and cut the stem. So many times I want them to hang on too long, the flower falls off, then I can't locate which socket it came out of and the seed pod develops hiddin away. Took me 4 seasons to figure this out and I have beautiful full baskets now!!!
Hello sir, I would like to know what kind of plants on those two large containers, please? I've bought a big pot and I'm not sure which plant that is okay for winter so I don't have to move it into garage. Thank you,
Sorry about the late reply. The plants in the large containers are perennial daisies. They have just been pruned before this video so no flowers are visible. Hope this is useful 😄
I always wondered if I were pruning correctly. Good video with nice close-ups! Sometimes I don't know whether a floret is coming on, if it hasn't quite wilted? And, some wilted ones have been pulled off and I wonder whether a new one will come on; and how to know whether I should just cut off? I don't prefer longer videos, but would like to see more pruning & talk as you go? Thanks again!
Thanks Marg. I am glad it was useful. Usually those that have “wilted” will dislodge much more easily than those that are just developing, so that may help. Happy gardening 🌱🌱🌱🌱
Question! My petunias looked like they struggled while I was away and they grew reaaally long. Am I okay to take away at least half the stock where there is new growth and still be okay? Will the plants straighten out again? Thanks!
+Peter Alain Hi Peter. Thanks for your question. Absolutely you can. When petunias become very long. Many people think that it is time to pull them out and the replant next year. However, if you give them a good trim back, they will usually regenerate in a few weeks and reward you with lots more growth and flowers. Of course all of this is dependant on your climate still be suitable for their growth. So yes, give them a good trim 😀 Hope this helps 😀
Very helpful thank you. I note that you use secateurs rather than scissors to dead head. Very sensible as I used scissors this afternoon and cut my finger open.
I’ve been searching for this exact kind of video..the close up shots was what I needed to see, thank you...I’m off to my garden to deadhead all my petunias!
Hi , I bought petunia plants in Spring in UK and whole summer it gave beautiful flowers in my garden . I found your video very interesting for growing petunia by cuttings . Now here is Autumn and soon winter is coming .. Can I grow Petunia now by cutting or which month ?
Hello! 😊 I've been pruning my petunias by cutting off the little stems where the plant sets seeds just like how you demonstrated in the video, but now my petunias are starting to look really sparse. Should I stop doing that or do I just need to wait for them to grow in?
Thank you for this question. It depends on how long you have been doing it. If they start to look too sparse, you can then give them quite a hard prune - by hard, I do mean quite hard - it will involve removing all the existing flowers, but prune across to the entire plant back to the size and shape you would like to achieve ..... ensure you leave some leaves, but they will grow back and you should be rewarded with beautiful new growth and flowers within a few weeks. Please don't be worried if it looks too harsh a prune. As long as you continue to look after the plants, they will grow back, and that includes flowering again. I would love to hear how you go :)

Can I also prune my Surfinia like this? Thanks.
This video is big help ❤
Thank you for your question. Yes, I would expect that you could maintain your surfing’s in exactly the same way. Hope this helps 😊
Very helpful; thanks.
(Clean those secateurs!)
+Urbino237 hahaha ..... you are of course justified in your advice 😉, but job already done 😀
I know. I wasn't being critical; mine often look like that too - a never-ending chore!
I got petunias here and they are no longer flowering. I doubt it needs the pinching. Doing that tomorow.
It would be good to give them a good prune and feed. Unless it is too cold in your area, this will probably get you an extended flowering time 😀
Great explanation. But get yourself and autocue!! Cutting the video every sentence is pretty clunky!
Good suggestion, thanks. I hope they get better the more I do

Nice vi have one question... I want petunia should be giving flowers 100numbers....for which what fertilizer schedule we should follow... In anticipation for your kind favor pleasesdeo...i
Sorry about my slow reply. A fertiliser rich in Potassium and Phosphorous is good to promote strong flowering. Hope this helps.

How are they this year?
I am just getting into gardening. What is the difference between pinching and pruning? Thank you. Great video.
Good question.
Often we might use the term “pinching” when describing the removal of individual buds, while pruning might typically refer to a more overall trimming.
Hope this is helpful 😄
Thank you! I thought it was good enough to pull off the spent bloom. Thank you for the lesson!
Hi Jill. I am glad the video was helpful to you :)
Thank you. That was very simple and to the point. Helped me tremendously!
Glad you found it helpful 😊. Happy gardening !
Many thanks. Just got a little baby black petunia today, I’m gonna be the best plant father!
You are very welcome! I am glad that you found this video helpful 😊. Happy gardening 🌱🌿
Mine are full, but not flowering, I give them flower feed
Have they flowered in the past and have now finished? The first thing that comes to mind is access to sunlight - not receiving enough sunlight can affect the flowering of petunias. So please ensure that they are receiving full sunlight.
Also, if sunlight isn't the issue and you are confident it is receiving the correct nutrients, then it may be worth giving it a good prune.

I am confused now 🤔. Doesn’t the flower come out of a seed ? So, why get ride of the seeds ??
Sorry, but no. The flower will develop in to a seed pod or fruit. If you collected the seeds from this seed pod after it matures, you could grow new plants. But during this video I am talking about how to extend the flowering of this particular plant.
Hope this helps ☺️
Very good information
Thanks for doing a concise simple video and close ups of what you're talking about.
You are very welcome - I am glad it has been helpful :)
Can you save the seed pods that you cut off and plant them now or next year?
Good question. Normally you would be pruning them off before the seeds have matured and are ready to germinate. But if you let them go, you could do exactly that.
Hope this helps 😊
This is really very informative.I love petunia and I have no idea about this.My wife told me to prune but I was not convinced.Thank u sir.
You are very welcome - I am glad it was useful 😄
Can I replant the cuttings? Will it grow?
Unfortunately it is very unlikely 😞. As an annual plant, it is probably best to start a new plant from seeds or seedling starters.
Hope this helps
Thank you so much! I've been doing this wrong for years.
You are very welcome. I am glad you found it useful :)
This video was what I needed.
Thank you, I am glad it was useful 😄

How often do you remove the spent flowers?
A good question. I usually, scan through the plant once a week while it is blooming strongly. Hope this helps.
Happy gardening!
Simple fast complete thanks
Thanks for the feedback.
Happy gardening 🌱🌱🌱🌱
Can you get a better picture of the new growth please. I'm never sure where exactly to cut back to. Thanks!
Completely obstructs view with hand so cannot see correct cutting ??? could you not have taken a more clever camera angle
Great video thanks. Noticed how much your hair has grown when watching Prune your Yucca. Both styles suit you🇬🇧👍
Thanks :)
For someone like me who's "gardening skills" are limited to planting flowers in tubs/pots, these are very clear instructions, thankyou.
Thank you for your feedback - it is really appreciated 😄

Hope this is useful 😄

Fast Simple Complete Thanks
Not I have to go chop chop my petunias.
Finally a visual tutorial I can use! Thank you.
Thank you for this feedback - I am glad you found it useful :)
It takes forever to deadhead a big flower basket ... I'll never do petunias again.
No need to deadhead if you don’t want to prolong the flowering. You will still get to enjoy them, just for a shorter period of time.
Happy gardening 😊
I wish the camera wasn't blocking the actual snipping.
Sorry about that. I hope you were still able to get something worthwhile from the information.
I always wondered if I were pruning correctly. Good video with nice close-ups! Sometimes I don't know whether a floret is coming on, if it hasn't quite wilted?

I don't prefer longer videos, but would like to see more pruning & talk as you go? Thanks again!
Thanks Marg. I am glad it was useful. Usually those that have “wilted” will dislodge much more easily than those that are just developing, so that may help.
Happy gardening 🌱🌱🌱🌱
Does it matter if you just pull the entire dead green heads off or snip them at the branch like you are showing?
I think you are less likely to damage the plant by ‘snipping’ using secateurs or scissors rather than pulling.
Hope this helps 😄
Excellent video - concise, clear and great closeup shots. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I am glad you have found it useful. Happy gardening 💐🌷
