Next, let's understand the cultivation methods of marigolds from the aspects of sunlight, temperature, and soil selection.
1. Sunlight
Marigolds are sun-loving plants that enjoy sunlight. During regular cultivation, marigolds can be placed on balconies or in rooms with plenty of sunlight. In the summer, it is important to control the intensity and duration of sunlight. In the intense summer sunlight, marigolds need to be shaded to prevent their flowers and leaves from being scorched. In the winter, when sunlight is insufficient, additional light should be provided to promote the growth and development of marigolds.
2. Temperature
Marigolds thrive in warm and humid environments, with the most suitable temperature being 15-25°C. The optimal temperature for blooming is 18-20°C. They can be kept outdoors in spring and autumn. In summer and winter, when temperatures are too high or too low, marigolds should be moved indoors to avoid scorching from high temperatures or frost damage.
3. Soil
Marigolds are not strict about soil requirements, and a loose soil with good drainage and breathability is suitable, such as sandy soil or garden soil. This type of soil has good drainage, preventing waterlogging in the pot caused by excessive watering, and effectively avoiding root rot caused by积水.
