Margarite flower cultivation methods and precautions

1. Flower soil

To grow marigolds, you can use flower soil made by evenly mixing equal amounts of leaf mold and black mountain mud. This soil contains sufficient nutrients to provide it with nutritional support. It also has better drainage capabilities and is less likely to accumulate water.

2. Watering

It is afraid of waterlogging, so when watering it, you should control the amount of water and not water it too much. Do not water it too often. Wait until the soil becomes slightly dry and white, or the plant appears slightly wilted, then water it. If you water it too much and too frequently, it will become waterlogged and its growth will be affected.

3. Lighting

It needs sufficient sunlight to grow, but it cannot tolerate strong sunlight. Therefore, you should choose a place for it to be raised that can receive sufficient sunlight but is not directly exposed to the sun. This will allow it to grow better.

4. Fertilization

Because it grows very fast, it has a high demand for fertilizer. During the growing season, some light fertilizer should be applied to it regularly to provide nutrients. When it is growing flower buds, you should also apply some flower fertilizer containing more phosphorus to help it bloom.

5. Notes

Usually you should give it more ventilation, which can reduce the chance of it being infested by aphids.
