hey guys! i just moved into an apartment of my own and bought a plant
in an egg called "eggling" from urban outfitters and i grow petunia's
from the seed in it. yesterday the petunia just started strouting from
the dirt. i keep it in front of a window in my kitchen but since i am
young and have never grown anything in my life and the only directions
that came with eggling were how to get it started (you have to crack
the egg yourself) but does not tell me how to care for my petunia i was
wondering if anyone had any suggestions? or special care that i should
know about? i don't want to kill my very first plant

Hi! Congrats on the new plant.

The Eggling should have come with some soil or "peat" for the seed to
grow in. Just keep the soil moist (check every few days, especially if
the Eggling is in direct sun for most of the day). Once the seedling
has turned into a plant, you'll want to consider getting a larger pot
for the plant so it can grow larger. The pot doesn't have to be huge.
Just a few inches wider and taller than the Eggling. The plant's roots
can spread out in a bigger pot, so the plant will get bigger.

So, you'll need a small bag of potting soil to fill the larger pot. You
can find potting soil in Lowes or Home Depot, or even Kmart, Walmart
and Target. A lot of indoor plant potting soil comes with fertilizer
already mixed in. That will help your plant because fertilizer is plant
food.

That's really it. Good luck!
