How often should you water marigolds?

The temperature is suitable in spring, so you only need to water it once every 3-4 days. In summer, the temperature is high and water evaporates quickly, so you can water it once a day. In autumn, the temperature gradually decreases, so you should reduce watering appropriately, and water it once every 2 days. In winter, it is best to keep the frequency of watering at about once every 15 days. You can choose river or lake water for watering.

How to water marigolds

1. Watering after transplanting : Water is very important to it. We must ensure that watering is done after the soil is dry. Do not water too much to cause water accumulation. In addition, during the transplanting period, you can cut off watering 7 days in advance and return to normal 3 days after transplanting.

2. Watering at high temperature : Do not water immediately at this time, because if there is too much water at this time, it is easy for the plant to grow too tall, which will not only affect the plant shape, but also delay the flowering period or the quality of the flowers. Therefore, watering must be strictly controlled at this time.
