Why Marigold Needs Specialized Nutrients

Marigolds benefit from specialized nutrients such as nitrogen for robust foliage, phosphorus for healthy root development, and potassium for vibrant blooms. These elements are crucial for enhancing flower color, resilience against pests, and overall plant vigor.

Watering

Water marigolds deeply and allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.

Light

To promote strong growth and abundant flowering, place marigolds in full sun for at least 6 hours a day.

Soil

Grow marigolds in well-draining soil enriched with organic matter to ensure healthy root development and optimal nutrient uptake.

Additional Tips

Deadhead blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season.
