When to Water Marigolds: A Simple Watering Guide
Marigolds are very easy to grow, making them a favorite for new gardeners. But that doesn’t mean they don’t require a little extra attention when it comes to watering.
Watering is an essential part of growing marigolds. Without it, your plants will suffer from stress and may even die.
There are many factors that contribute to watering marigolds — the size of the pot, sun exposure, soil type, and temperature are just some of them. Learn the best times to water marigolds, plus some other tips, here.
But before we get into all that, let’s take a look at why we should be watering our marigolds in the first place.
The Importance Of Watering Correctly:
Water is essential for life and plants are no different. Plants absorb water through their roots and send it up through the stem and to the leaves so that they can photosynthesize and produce food for themselves.
To grow properly, plants need a lot of water. Without enough water, plants will suffer from dehydration which is fatal in most cases.
When it comes time to water your marigolds, it’s important not to over-water them or under-water them.
If you have too much water on them, the leaves will become limp and droop over time. This can result in stunted growth and even death of the plant if conditions aren’t corrected quickly enough.
On the other hand, if you don’t have enough water on your marigolds, then they won’t grow properly either.
