   It’s all about the soil (and the light.) May just take a little longer before they really grow.

   I tried those once and didn’t have any luck with them, very little waving went on! Maybe yours will perk up!

   I have noticed too that the flower is smaller and not large and wavey like when I first bought them several years back. Hope someone can shed some light on this. Mine look a lot like yours. =}

   Well that’s interesting. Mine have gone wacko and have outgrown their pot and are attempting to take over the world. I’ve done absolutely nothing to them. In fact you could say I’ve completely ignored them. Maybe that’s the key?

   I don’t know what is wrong with yours, but it reminds me of the summer when everything I had that was suppose to cascade grew straight up, and everything that was suppose to be erect, draped down.

   They need full sun. My mom grows Wave petunia and regular petunias. Hers are absolutely beautiful. She waters them every other day(if it doesnt rain) and they are in Full sun.

   May be in competition with the other vining plant in your basket…Your petunia should be your main cascading plant…also petunias need full sun with minimum shade…lots of fertilizer, moist, but no wet feet….
   PS…I’m a “nipper in the bud” when planting person,too…it seems to make them set mutiple side shoots that take off with tons of blooms..when they slow down, pinch’em again…
   PS..I know I get movin’ when someone pinches me……!

   I just read that Wave Petunias need at least 6 hours of direct sun to grow well and are heavy feeders even with Miracle Grow you need to fertilize twice as often.

   Mine are barely hanging on. My mom was visiting last week and she replanted them with fertilizer-rich soil, but I don’t know if they’re going to come out of it. I just do NOT have a very green thumb!

    Just curious… what is the hanging canning jar on the wall next to your petunias for?

    That jar is a battery-operated firefly jar!

    I want one of those (lightening bug) jars……like we don’t have enough of them around…but we just love em’..I might just make one!
    Ponder: I wonder if a person could just buy plastic bugs (sort of look alike fireflies)from the craft store…humm.. and attach them on a LCD mini light string and glue the battery box in the lid….Hummm…..poke the whole wiring thingy down ‘willy nilly’ in the jar and let’er rip..err blink..
    PS…hummm….to keep the green wire from showing one could use one of Grandmas old blue canning jars….hummm
