The time to dive marigolds comes after 2-3 true leaves appear.

An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh shared two convenient ways to carry out this procedure.

The furrow method

First, fill the container with moist soil and level the surface - it is convenient to do this with a wooden plank. Form a furrow with the same plank and you can take on the seedlings.

With dense sowing, you will be able to capture several young plants at once. Carefully separate them from each other and transfer them to a furrow, where the seedlings should be placed at a distance of 2 cm from each other.

All that remains is to fill the marigold roots with the help of a plank and you can form and fill a new furrow - at a distance of 3 cm from the previous one.

Picking with tweezers

In this case, you won't need to bother with furrows. It's enough to take a group of sprouts out of the container and, holding them in one hand, grab each seedling with tweezers, then immerse its root in loose soil.
