How can you care for a Genda Plant?

How often should marigolds be watered?

Watering Established Plants. Marigolds that have been planted in gardens need to be soaked once a week. You should give them water to ensure that the soil is at least 6-8 inches deep. They will require more water if the weather is hot or windy. Marigolds should be watered in pots when the soil's top 1 to 2 inches is dry.

How do you care for marigolds indoors? Start Indoors. Marigold seeds can be planted indoors up to six weeks before the last frost. Use sterile seed-starting media and keep the seed trays moist and warm. Marigolds will germinate well when the soil temperature is between 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit.

How do you grow Genda plants?

Place marigold seeds directly in the ground. Cover with a thin layer (approximately 1/8 inch) of soil. Make sure to water thoroughly. After seedlings sprout, thin to 8-18 inches apart. Marigolds can be grown indoors and transplanted outdoors six to eight weeks before last frost date.

How can you make marigolds out of dried flowers?

You can harvest marigold seeds by removing the spent blossoms. To expose the rod-shaped seeds, you need to peel the bottom shell from just below the flowers. These seeds can be spread on newspaper or paper towels indoors. Once dried, seal the envelope or glass container and store in a cool place until next growing season.
