Water: Water petunia 'Clara' once a week under normal conditions; however, those in hanging baskets may need more frequent watering in hot summer. Utilize a fine spray mist for watering soil and foliage to prevent root damage from water-logging.

Fertilize: In summer, use a balanced liquid fertilizer (8-8-8 or 12-12-12) for petunia 'Clara' every 2-3 weeks; weekly for spreading varieties, and twice-weekly for double-flowered types. In containers, prefer time-release fertilizers. Avoid over-fertilization to prevent yellowing or browning leaves, which indicate nutrient excess.

Pruning: Petunia 'Clara' features vibrant blooms. Prune in early spring for bushy growth and more flowers. Trim dead stems and pinch new growth to encourage branching. Remove spent flowers to extend blooming. Pruning enhances appearance and air circulation, reducing disease risk. Use clean, sharp tools for best results.
