I live in Dorset, UK. I've just put five petunias - two upright and three trailing - into each of three small tubs (13.5 " long x 5" x 5") that are fixed just below the upstairs bedroom window sills, facing due East, so they get the morning sun.
There's a layer of pea shingle at the bottom, covered with a piece of carpet, and the small drainage holes are just below the carpet. I've also added some "water-retaining crystals" to the soil.
I had reckoned to provide each tub with a cup full of water twice a week.

Is this too much or too little ?
Yes, I know - it depends on the weather ;-)
But what do you think ?
