I already pinch the dead or dying petunia so to promote regrowth, but they are in pots and also some in the ground have appeared to become to heavy or n ot as not as bushy as before, still lots of blooms through. Stems seems to become stringy looking. Where would I cut stems, so not too loosing potential for rebloom?

Yup. Petunias neet a good cutback every once in a while just to keep from getting too "leggy". Hack them back, feed 'em, and they'll look like new again in a couple of weeks.

You can cut them anywhere along the length of the stem, preferably just after a leaf. This will send new shoots out. Give them a good drink of fertilizer water right after to help the plants get over the shock.

You need to just keep cutting them back, even the ones that have blooms. Good luck.
