It is not recommended to plant potatoes next to marigolds, as this may negatively affect their development.

These flowers can secrete substances that inhibit the growth of potato bushes and reduce their yield.

Some vegetable crops, such as legumes, may also have difficulty growing next to marigolds.

These plants may be sensitive to chemical compounds released by marigolds, which can result in slower growth and reduced yields.

In addition, marigolds can negatively affect some ornamental plants.

For example, roses and gladioli can experience stress when planted close to marigolds, which can result in slower growth and poor flowering.

It is worth considering that marigolds can attract certain insects that can be harmful to neighboring plants.

For example, they can attract aphids, which can spread to other crops and cause damage.

Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of plants and, if necessary, take measures to protect against pests.

Marigolds can also compete with other plants for nutrients and water, especially if they are planted too close together.

This can lead to reduced yields and deterioration of the condition of neighboring crops.

Therefore, it is recommended to maintain an optimal distance between plants to provide them with sufficient resources for growth and development.
