How to Make Marigolds Bloom for Christmas

Actual flowering period

There are many times when you can sow seeds, but in their natural state, they bloom in summer and fruit from June to October. The color of the flowers is brighter, a warm orange-yellow. The flower shape is the same as that of most chrysanthemums, with petals densely packed and stretching upward, which not only gives a warm and sunny feeling, but also a sense of upward positivity. Although the arrangement of the petals is not so neat, the length of each petal is almost the same. It is neat yet irregular, and has its own characteristics.

Tips for Christmas flowering: sowing at the right time

August should be their flowering season, but if you want to delay their flowering, you naturally have to sow the seeds later. One of the tricks to flowering in winter is to sow the seeds at the right time. This kind of flower blooms quickly, so there is no need to rush. It can be done in August. After the seedlings emerge, they can be transplanted into pots. Friends who choose to plant them outdoors must put them indoors before the outdoor temperature drops to 10℃, otherwise they will be frostbitten before they bloom, or even the whole plant will die.

Christmas flowering tips: ensure light

This flower has a high demand for light and it is difficult to bloom when there is not enough light. Especially in winter, the light is already dim, and if you don’t put it in a location with better sunlight, there will definitely be problems. If there is a lot of rain or snow and the sunlight is insufficient, you must place them in a brighter location, otherwise the leaves will easily change color. If the situation is serious, the entire plant may rot and die.
