Plant Care for African Marigold (Orange) Seeds:

• Germination Time – 7-14 days under optimal conditions
• Sunlight – Marigolds thrive in full sunlight. Ensure they receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day for best growth and blooming.
• Soil – African Marigolds prefer well-drained, fertile soil. Avoid heavy clay soils as they can retain too much moisture, which could lead to root rot.
• Watering – Water the plants moderately. While marigolds are drought-tolerant, they perform best when the soil is kept evenly moist. Ensure the soil dries slightly between watering to avoid overwatering.
• Fertilization – Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to encourage healthy growth. Excessive fertilization may result in lush foliage but fewer blooms, so it’s best to fertilize sparingly.
• Spacing – Space plants 10-12 inches apart to ensure good air circulation and room for the flowers to grow.
• Pruning – Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and to maintain the plant’s tidy appearance.
