Some people say that marigold will glow and find that this is true after experimenting with planting.

Marigold

It is a quite common plant. At first, the director of the station just picked some seeds and went home to plant them, but he did not want to reap a lot of beauty.

Some scholars have put forward the idea that marigold glows. The director did not believe it, but now he feels the same way, because marigold is indeed very brilliant and moving, and its petals can be used as a natural dye. In addition, its leaves will emit a unique fragrance, playing a role in driving away pests.

If the plants that are used in such a way are not raised at this time, when will they wait?

Sowing marigold

The seeds of marigold are thin and long and very special.

Find a disposable container as a flowerpot and make several drainage holes at the bottom.

Then, put the soil into the flowerpot.

Then, press several small pits with your fingers and put the seeds in one by one.

Finally, cover the soil with about twice the size of the seed.

Water, cover with cling film, and poke several holes in the film with a toothpick. The new buds will grow in about a week, so there is no need to water them halfway.

The growth process of marigold

After 7 days, the cyan-red cotyledons of marigold grow.

In one month, the true leaves of marigold have grown more than 4 pairs, and the pot can be changed at this time.

To change the pot, it is best to choose a flowerpot more than three times larger than the original flowerpot.

If multiple plants are planted together, make sure that there is at least a 5cm interval between each plant.

If you are planting a large variety, leave at least a gap between 10cm.

For two months, the plants are thriving.

It is best to put the flowerpot in the sunniest place to prevent it from overgrowing.

In three months, the plant has become much bigger.

If you only plant one plant, you should put some supports in the flowerpot to prevent the plant from dumping.

Mini varieties of plants bloom very early, and now it's almost time for the first flower.

In three and a half months, the plant gave birth to its first bud.

From now on, we should pay attention to the prevention of diseases and insect pests, especially to avoid the breeding of mulberry thrips, because this pest will greatly shorten the life span of flowers.

After four months, it is finally time for the flowers to bloom.

With the flowers blooming, the plants are getting taller and taller.

The director suggested: in order to prevent plants from overgrowing, we must ensure that there is plenty of sunshine.

Important hints from the station director

1. Marigold has a long flowering period, so it is best to fertilize it regularly.

Spraying liquid fertilizer every two weeks or regularly putting some granular fertilizer on the soil is recommended.

two。 When a plant is listless because it is dry, it only needs to be fully watered to make it recover quickly.

3. Marigold is very resistant to diseases and insect pests.

4. Lack of sunlight can cause buds to wither. Marigold is a plant that is particularly sensitive to sunlight. If the weather is bad for a long time, or if it is placed in a place where there is not enough sunshine, the plant's buds will wither and fall one after another.

Therefore, if you want to see the beauty of marigold in full bloom, you must put the flowerpot in a particularly sunny place.

Planted on the balcony.
