My Italian landlord was pleased to see that I filled the terracotta planters (big low wide bowls) with flowers, and reached in to see what I used to plant them in--and shook his head (negatively) when he saw that I used 100% terriccio. He explain
Thank you for the quick answers. My head starts to swim with all the possible products I should get.....and it seems perhaps I made a mistake of potting TOGETHER petunias and geraniums. Seems they have different needs, perhaps not too compatible. My petunias, BTW, are doing MUCH BETTER in this terricio than the geraniums. All I have done is plant them and water them. No food/fert of any sort yet. Well....we 'll see how they go...and I will look for some food soon to give them. I did put lots of broken pottery in the bottom of the pots for drainage...so, perhaps that will go well enough. Serge, thanks particularly for your detailed, thoughtful advice. I really appreciate it a lot.
