Aim to water at the base of the plants, avoiding overhead watering to minimize the risk of fungal diseases. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent overwatering, which can lead to root rot.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Sunlight: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marigolds thrive in full sun, so ensure they receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Plant them in a location where they can bask in the sun&#8217;s rays to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Fertilizing: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marigolds are generally low-maintenance plants and do not require heavy fertilization. Before planting, incorporate a balanced granular fertilizer into the soil following the package instructions. Additionally, you can provide a monthly feeding of a water-soluble fertilizer specifically formulated for flowering plants during the growing season.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Deadheading: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regularly remove spent flowers, a process known as deadheading, to encourage continuous blooming. Pinch or snip off faded flowers just above a set of leaves to stimulate the production of new flower buds.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Pest and Disease Control: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marigolds are relatively resistant to pests and diseases. However, they may occasionally encounter aphids, slugs, or powdery mildew. Monitor the plants regularly and take appropriate action if you notice any signs of pest infestation or disease. Use organic pest control methods like handpicking pests or applying insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Mulching: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as straw or wood chips, around the base of the marigold plants. Mulching helps conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature, promoting healthy plant growth.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Support for Tall Varieties: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some taller marigold varieties may benefit from staking or support to prevent them from bending or breaking under their weight. Insert stakes or place small trellises near the plants when planting or as they grow taller.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24f78bf header2-subhead e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"24f78bf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1bdc553 things-h elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1bdc553\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Harvest_Marigolds\"><\/span>How to Harvest Marigolds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f90a658 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f90a658\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gardening-website.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/assets\/blogs\/growing+marigold\/stock-photo-a-woman-farmer-breaks-flowers-of-a-medical-marigold-the-harvest-will-be-dried-and-the-me.webp\" title=\"\" alt=\"harvesting marigold\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-daecac7 header2-text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"daecac7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some short\u00a0 tips for harvesting and storing Basil:<b><\/b><\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use clean and sharp tools: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use clean and sharp scissors or garden shears to cut the marigold flowers. This helps minimize damage to the plant and ensures clean cuts.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cut the stems properly: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cut the marigold stems just above a leaf node or set of leaves to encourage new growth and branching. Aim to harvest the flowers with a sufficient length of stem to allow for easy handling and arranging.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Remove foliage and damaged petals: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remove any foliage or leaves from the lower part of the stem that will be submerged in water or used for display. Pluck off any damaged or discolored petals to ensure a visually appealing bouquet or storage.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Preserve freshness and quality: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Immediately place the freshly harvested marigold flowers in a bucket or vase filled with clean water. Keep the flowers in a cool, shaded area to prolong their freshness and maintain their vibrant color.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Drying marigold flowers: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you wish to dry the marigold flowers for various uses like potpourri or crafts, hang them upside down in a dry and well-ventilated area. Ensure that the flowers are evenly spaced and not touching each other to promote proper air circulation.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Storing dried marigold flowers: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the marigold flowers are completely dry, store them in airtight containers or resealable bags to protect them from moisture and dust. Store the dried flowers in a cool, dark place to preserve their color and fragrance for an extended period.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-57ac60bc subhead-txt e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"57ac60bc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77bd09ed things-h elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"77bd09ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Find Your Garden Bliss Today!\n<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-269bdf3d know elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"269bdf3d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you grow marigolds in containers, in the ground, or raised beds, the process is both accessible and rewarding.
