How to Care

- Planting: Plant African Marigold seeds in manure-rich, warm soil. Sow seeds 3-6 inches apart in well-drained loamy soil. For best results, germinate seeds in a seedling tray placed in full sun. Once the soil outside is warm enough or when the first greens appear, transfer them to the soil or suitable grow bags (at least 12 inches deep).
- Watering: Keep the soil adequately moist until the first green growth appears. Afterward, water generously 2-3 times a week or whenever the soil feels dry. Water deeply to strengthen roots.
- Temperature: African Marigold flowers bloom from July until temperatures drop below 18°C. In warmer regions, the plant may continue to bloom. However, if soil temperatures fall below 18°C, the plant may struggle and should be replanted in the spring.
- Fertilizing: Use phosphorus-rich fertilizer with a Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium ratio of 1:3:2 every 2-3 weeks. Phosphorus promotes lush blooms, while lower nitrogen levels help maintain plant health.
- Pest Control: Protect plants from slugs, thrips, and caterpillars, which can attack younger saplings. African Marigold plants are also susceptible to powdery mildew. To prevent fungal attacks, ensure adequate spacing and proper watering.Bio Pest Control to prevent pest and fungal issues.
