Marigolds Growth in Partial Shade
The growth of marigolds in shady places
The world often wonders whether marigolds can grow in shady places. Let's try it out now.
The marigolds like sunlight, but they can't survive in shady places. If the place where they are located is moderately shady, they can still get some sunlight during the day, so that they will not be sheltered in shady places for a long time, and they can still grow.
In a shady environment, the stems and leaves of marigolds may be slightly slender to seek more sunlight. The color of the flowers may be slightly less bright than that in sunny places, but they are also elegant.
The method of planting requires attention to the soil. In shady places, the soil should be loose and fertile, and well drained. If the soil is stagnant with water, even if the calendula is resistant to shading, it is easy to cause root rot and endanger the life of the plant.
Watering is also the key. Water evaporation in shading places is slow, so watering should not be overly frequent. It should be watered until the soil surface is slightly dry before watering to keep the soil moist and not wet.
When fertilizing, it is advisable to apply thin fertilizer diligently. Although the shading environment affects its photosynthesis, moderate fertilization can help it obtain enough nutrients and maintain growth.
Although marigolds prefer sunlight, in moderately shady places, if growers take good care and pay attention to soil, watering, and fertilization, they can also grow lush and bloom, adding a touch of color to shady places.
