Planning to infuse your winter garden with vibrant hues of marigold? Now’s the perfect time to sow the seeds for a stunning floral display. While marigold plants are synonymous with festive cheer, their growth and care require a bit of know-how. Let’s delve into the art of cultivating these sun-kissed beauties.
Sowing the Seeds of Success
It is the best time of autumn to sow seeds for marigold. Begin with making a light well-draining mix of soil. Coco peat is perfect for seed sowing. Scatter seeds on the surface of soil and cover with a thin layer of soil.
Care of newly germinated plant
With a bit of patience, your marigold seeds will be germinating in about 15-20 days. Transplant the seedlings when they appear in individual pots; make sure each has an adequate drainage system so the soil doesn’t waterlog.
Feeding Your Flowers
Give them good balanced NPK fertilization to encourage robust growth and strong blooms. However, direct application of fertilizer into roots is not advisable because marigold is such a weak plant. Place small pellets of fertilizer in paper pack and bury it at the base of the plant and near the stem for absorption Regular pruning is a prerequisite for maintaining the shape, encouraging bushy growth and profuse flowering. Prune the growing tips and encourage lateral branching and profusion of flowers.
Sun and Water: The Right Combination
Marigolds love direct sun. Place your pots under full sun. These plants are tolerant to drought, but watering frequently, especially during dry spells, keeps them happy. However, this plant does not like being waterlogged and can suffer from root rot. By following these simple tips, you can cultivate healthy and beautiful marigold plants that will brighten up your winter garden. Remember, with a little care and attention, you can create a stunning floral display that will bring joy to your home.
