Autumn is coming, everything is dying, but only marigold is still in full bloom. Marigold is one of the most common flowers in autumn and is deeply loved by people. It has good ornamental effect and stress resistance, and is widely used in family garden planting. But if marigold wants to grow vigorously and bloom more beautifully, you need to master some planting and maintenance skills.
Buying seedlings Marigold seeds is easy to breed and the seeds are relatively cheap, so most people sow their own seeds. But to get better results in a short period of time, it is best to choose some larger seedlings to plant. When selecting seedlings, seedlings with moderate seedling height, strong branches, developed root systems, and green and healthy leaves should be selected.
After selecting a suitable location for land preparation and fertilization, land preparation should be carried out to make the soil soft and delicate and ensure good drainage. While soil preparation, fertilization and organic fertilizers and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be added to improve soil fertility.
Planting marigold can be carried out after soil preparation and fertilization are completed. After selecting the position, first soak the roots of the seedlings in water to make them absorb water. Then sprinkle some fertilizer in the hole, put the seedlings in it, pay attention to keep the seedlings upright, then fill in the soil and gently compress it.
Timely watering is the most important part of marigold growth. During dry seasons or when the weather is hot, water is needed at the right time to keep the soil moist, but do not over-water. Summer and autumn are the most important growing seasons for marigold, and more watering is needed at this time.
Regular pruning of marigolds will gradually decline after flowering. At this time, pruning is needed to cut off aging branches and flowers in time to promote the growth of new branches. Under normal circumstances, pruning can be carried out within 3-5 days after the flowers fade.
Avoid pests and diseases. Marigold is susceptible to certain pests and diseases, such as aphids, butterflies, fleas, etc. Before planting, pest control should be done well, and some pesticides with insecticidal effects should be selected and sprayed.
Control the temperature During cold seasons or when the temperature is low at night, insulation work is needed to prevent frostbite of marigold. At the same time, attention should also be paid to avoid damage caused by high temperatures to marigold.
Pay attention to good ventilation and ventilation can promote the growth of marigold and reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases. During the planting process, attention should be paid to maintaining good ventilation and avoiding too intensive planting.
Avoid stagnant water. Marigolds are drought-tolerant, but not waterlogging. After watering, stagnant water should be removed in time to avoid affecting root breathing and growth.
Control the amount of fertilization Although fertilizers can promote the growth and flowering of marigold, excessive fertilization can also affect it. When applying fertilizer, the amount of fertilizer should be controlled to avoid excessive fertilization.
Reasonable shade under strong sunlight makes marigolds vulnerable to sun damage. In this case, reasonable shading is needed to protect marigolds from excessive sun exposure.
Doing a good job in drainage drainage is a very important step in the growth of marigold. Before planting, ensure that there are enough drainage holes at the bottom of the burrow to ensure good soil drainage.
Avoid strong winds. Strong winds can cause damage to marigolds or even cause them to fall. In order to avoid this situation, when selecting a planting location, you should choose a place to block the wind or build a simple shelter.
Storage in advance Before winter comes, marigolds should be stored in advance to ensure that they can safely survive the severe cold climate. You can move it indoors or simply build a greenhouse for storage.
Marigold is a beautiful flower that is widely used in family courtyards. In order to make marigold grow better and bloom more beautifully, you need to master some planting and maintenance skills, such as selecting suitable seedlings, soil preparation and fertilization, timely watering, regular pruning, etc. Only in this way can we enjoy the gorgeous bloom of marigold in autumn.
