Growing Tips for Organic Petite Mix Marigold Seeds
Ensure a successful and flourishing garden with these simple growing tips:
- Soil Preparation: Marigolds thrive in well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Prepare your garden bed by loosening the soil and removing any weeds or debris.
- Planting: Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart, then thin seedlings to 6-12 inches apart once they are 2-3 inches tall.
- Sunlight: Marigolds require full sun for optimal growth and blooming. Ensure they receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Watering: Water regularly but avoid overwatering, as marigolds prefer well-drained soil. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
- Fertilizing: Marigolds typically do not need additional fertilizing, especially if planted in moderately fertile soil. Over-fertilizing can lead to lush foliage with fewer flowers.
- Deadheading: Regularly remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and maintain a tidy appearance in your garden.
