Sow Calibrachoa seeds on the surface of a moist, fine seed-starting mix and avoid covering them with soil because light benefits germination. Maintain temperatures around 70–75°F and keep the medium consistently moist. Seedlings generally emerge within 10–14 days under suitable conditions.
Calibrachoa produces smaller, bell-shaped flowers and typically has a compact, trailing growth habit. Traditional petunias generally have larger flowers. Calibrachoa is especially popular for hanging baskets and containers because its spreading stems create attractive cascading displays.
Poor flowering can result from insufficient sunlight, irregular watering, nutrient deficiencies, or unsuitable growing conditions. Place hanging baskets where plants receive adequate sunlight, use fertile well-drained potting mix, and provide regular feeding during the growing season. Avoid excessive watering that can cause root problems.
