Marigolds Acidic Soil Preference
Calendula likes acidic soil.
The nature of the flowers and plants has their own advantages, and they also have special choices for the acid and alkali of the soil. Today's discussion of calendula, its preference for acidic soil is really worth exploring.
I have heard that various flower plants grow in the soil, and the acid and alkali of the soil are related to their rise and fall. Calendula people, although their properties are different, tend to adapt to soils with a certain acid and alkali range.
After various inspections, calendula can often flourish in slightly acidic to neutral soils. Slightly acidic soils have a soft texture, contain various nutrients, are transparent and have good properties for retaining water and fertilizer. This is of great benefit to the expansion of calendula roots and the uptake of nutrients.
If the soil is too acidic, it may cause various drawbacks. Excessive acidity may cause abnormal solubility of some elements in the soil, such as excessive dissolution of iron, aluminum and other elements, which may damage the root system of calendula, causing its growth to be blocked, leaf color or change, flowering period or disorder.
Therefore, those who want to plant calendula should first check the acid and alkali of the soil. If the acidity is uncomfortable, lime can be applied to adjust it, so that it approaches the suitable slightly acidic to neutral range of calendula. In this way, calendula is expected to flourish and have beautiful flowers and leaves.
