Posted by Jocie on Wednesday, March 27, 2002 9:57 AM ASTHi, I have started petunias and I am just wondering when I should remove the plastic dome which I have covering them right now. Anybody have any ideas??

Take that dome off as already instucted by another poster and get a fan circulating the air and do not water them too much.Remember to use 'soilless mix to prevent mold growth even when you transplant into larger pots. Enjoy those petunias. 'The Flower Lady'
