Petunia plants are characterized by a short life 
cycle, color diversity, compact plant size, and 
relatively easy growth.The findings of 
this study will help to increase floral longevity of 
petunia as well as other potted flowering plants 
which will create a significant value to further 
develop the floriculture industry.Besides 
that, the petunia flower has short longevity and 
floral longevity has received very little attention 
from ornamental plant breeders.It has been reported that 
the optimum amount of nutrient and environmental 
factors affect the plant growth, development and 
flowering of petunia (Zhanga et al 2012)
Petunia seedlings are commonly produced in 
the greenhouse in mixtures of commercial soilless 
bedding plant growth media, and sometimes the 
growth and flower production of petunia plants 
is low due to unsuitable growing media.It has been reported that flowering capacity of 
petunia plants can be influenced by breeding and 
cultivation technologies (Nishijima et al 2006).
