Unlock Your Garden's Potential: Secret Marigold Planting Tips for Abundant Blooms

• Marigolds are popular in India for their beauty, fragrance, and easy care, holding significance in decoration and worship.
• Optimal planting seasons are February-March and September-October; cool to mildly warm weather is ideal for growth and flowering.
• Use well-draining, fertile soil enriched with cow dung or compost; avoid heavy, water-retentive soil to prevent root damage.
• Prepare seedlings in nursery trays, transplanting when they have 3-4 leaves, ensuring proper spacing for healthy growth.
• Provide 5-6 hours of daily sunlight; water only when soil is dry, avoiding over or under-watering. Prune regularly and fertilize every 15-20 days for continuous blooms.
