If your bush looks healthy, has managed to grow fleshy leaves, but does not want to bloom, then do not hesitate - it is time to activate flowering.

To do this, you will have to add sun. Find a place for marigolds that is not in the shade, where sunlight regularly enters in moderate quantities. The scorching rays of the sun will destroy the flower.

In addition, adjust watering. Overwatering is more dangerous than underwatering. Excess moisture will negatively affect flowering and the plant may get sick. Water the bushes 2 times in 2-3 days with warm water.

When it comes to fertilizers, give preference to   mixtures of nitrogen and potassium, phosphorus and microelements.

Feed the marigolds in the evening with a solution of 1 tablespoon of fertilizer per 5 liters of water.

Don't forget to regularly loosen the soil after each watering. Less moisture will evaporate if the loose soil is covered with hay or sawdust.
