Germination Tips
-
Best Sowing Time: Marigolds thrive in warm weather. Sow seeds in early spring (Feb-March) for summer blooms, or late summer/early fall (August-September) for winter blooms.
-
Prepare the Soil: Marigolds prefer well-draining soil. Mix in some compost for added nutrients.
-
Seed Sowing: Sow seeds about 0.5 cm deep directly in your garden bed or in seedling trays. Gently water the soil.
-
Germination Time Marigold seeds germinate quickly, typically within 5-10 days.
Planting Tips
-
Sunlight: Choose a spot that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
-
Spacing: Plant seedlings 20-30 cm apart to allow for adequate growth.
-
Transplanting: If you started seeds in trays, carefully transplant seedlings when they have a few true leaves.
Caring Tips
-
Watering: Water regularly, especially during hot, dry spells. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
-
Fertilizing: Feed your marigolds with a balanced liquid fertilizer every few weeks during their blooming phase.
-
Deadheading: Remove spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering.
-
Pest control: Marigolds are relatively pest resistant, but keep an eye out for aphids and whiteflies. Neem oil solution can be a helpful natural pest deterrent.
