Marigolds are easy to care for, but they are a wonderful addition to any garden.
But if you forget about this important foundation, instead of lush flowering, the plants will wither and die.
First of all, you need to focus on the climate and weather forecast. Marigolds bloom until frost, but are very afraid of it.
When planting in early spring, you need to think in advance about how to protect the plants if the cold weather returns. For example, you can cover them with cut five-liter bottles or build a mini-greenhouse.
Another nuance is related to how to plant marigolds. There are two options: directly into open ground or as seedlings.
In the first case, flowering will be later. The seedlings bloom much earlier. In addition, it is noted that such bushes are more lush.
The first feeding is applied when the seedlings reach a height of 10 cm. Use urea diluted with water. Take 1 tbsp of the substance per 10 l of water.
