Sowing and propagation

Marigold is generally propagated by sowing

Marigold seeds are easy to germinate and are usually sown from late March to early April in spring. To plant the seeds of marigold into the culture soil, you can choose to use the sowing pot. Ensure that the temperature is 15-20 ℃ after sowing. Generally, seedlings will appear in a week

After the emergence of marigold, let the seedlings continue to grow. When the seedlings of marigold grow to 5cm and have 7 to 8 leaves, they can be transplanted and planted

Marigold should ensure a certain temperature when sowing and breeding. After sowing, it should be covered with soil and watered to ensure sufficient water. It takes about 50 days from sowing to flowering. If it is sowing and breeding in summer, it takes 60 days to blossom. When selecting seeds, the fruits produced after flowering in autumn should be fresh and shiny. Because the seed germination rate of flowering in summer is low

Cutting propagation

The cutting propagation of Marigold is carried out from May to June in summer

Take about 10cm long twigs as cuttings, cut them off, remove the lower leaves and insert them into sand or vermiculite. After cutting, Marigold is watered enough and needs shade. Generally, it can take root in about 10 days, and then it can be transplanted

The management of marigold after transplanting is simple. Generally, after transplanting, marigold should be gradually moved to a sunny place for daily management, and it can bloom after about one month. During the period from planting to flowering, marigold can be fertilized every 20 days. It is necessary to apply thin and mature liquid fertilizer to ensure fertile soil. Water properly to keep the soil slightly wet. You can pick the heart many times to increase the branches and promote the marigold to bloom more
