General care rules

Marigolds are unpretentious ornamental plants. But to achieve large and bright inflorescences can be subject to the following conditions:

1. Lighting. For planting, choose a sunny and open area. A slight shading is allowed.
2. Temperature. Marigolds are thermophilic plants. They do not tolerate subzero temperatures. Their death occurs from 0 to +10 degrees. They stop growing, and their leaves change color. Favorable for the flowers remains a temperature of + 19-23 degrees.
3. Priming. These flowers are fast-growing and unpretentious plants that can grow on any soil. But you can achieve maximum decorativeness only when growing a flower on drained and nutritious soils. The marigold is unacceptable acidic, heavy and wet ground, because there their roots rot.
4. Watering. This plant tolerates drought, so water it rarely and moderately. To moisten young plants more often, due to which the bush will be lush, and many large buds will form on it. It is enough to irrigate the plant 2 times a week.
5. Fertilizers And although marigolds like nutritious soil, it is undesirable to add nitrogen top dressing in spring. This will lead to intensive growth, but a delay in flowering. A complex composition is suitable as top dressing. Make them 1-2 times a month.
6. Diseases and pests. In general, they are resistant to diseases and parasites. Their roots can be affected by fungal diseases in rainy weather, and the inflorescences will begin to decay. We talked about what to do if a spider mite or other pest appeared on the marigolds.IMPORTANT: When waterlogged, the plant affects the black leg.

   To combat it, treat the bush and soil with Fitosporin. Seedlings in a dry climate are affected by a spider mite. To combat it, increase air humidity by spraying with water from a spray bottle. Also carry out 2-fold treatment with infusion of red pepper (per 1 liter of water and 100 ml of pepper).

Marigolds are a decorative culture that is actively used by gardeners in Russia. Its peculiarity is long and beautiful flowering, easy care of a wide range of varieties. This creates many ideas for creating an original and colorful flower arrangement on a flower bed.
