Snail-Damaged Petunia: Will Recover If Crown Intact—Protect with Iron Phosphate or Eggshells

Petunia eaten by snail but with 1–2 leaves remaining will recover. Snails eat foliage, not the crown (growing point).

Protection

• Escar-Go / Sluggo (iron phosphate) — scatter around plant, reapply 10 days. Organic, pet-safe.
• Crushed eggshells — sharp barrier; snails won't cross. Reapply after rain.
• Diatomaceous earth — similar barrier, less rain-fast.

Good luck — petunias are resilient!
