Marigolds Care Difficulty
Calendula maintenance is difficult to say
Calendula is difficult to maintain, and there are many opinions. Its nature likes the sun, in a place with sufficient light, the branches and leaves are lush, and the flowers are bright. If planted in the shade, it is easy to grow and the flowers are thin and dark, so the supply of light is the main rule for maintenance. This is not difficult, just choose a place to the sun, and its nature can be smooth.
As for soil, Calendula has strong adaptability and does not choose fertilizer and barrenness. However, loose, fertile and well-drained soil is appropriate. If the soil is heavy and the drainage is not smooth, it is easy to cause root rot. However, the common garden soil, slightly improved to increase its air permeability and drainage, can also make Calendula grow safely, which is not a problem of maintenance.
The way of watering needs to adhere to the principle of moderation. Calendula is drought-resistant and afraid of floods. Therefore, watering should not be overly frequent, and then watering should be done when the soil surface is dry. Of course, the soil should not be dry for a long time, otherwise the plants will be sluggish. Grasping this moderate method requires some attention, but it must be controlled.
In terms of fertilization, during the growth period of Calendula, appropriate fertilization can promote its flowers and leaves to flourish. Apply thin fertilizer diligently, and avoid thick fertilizer to grow fertilizer. In the peak growing season, apply thin liquid fertilizer once or twice a month, and increase phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before flowering to help flower buds differentiate. This method of fertilization follows the routine and is not an obstacle to maintenance.
To sum up, although the maintenance of marigolds requires attention to light, soil, watering, and fertilization, it is not a complicated and difficult move. With care and grasping its growth habits, marigolds can thrive and bloom, so its maintenance difficulty is among the moderate and easy ones.
