* Tagetes or marigolds, with proper care, survive the most intense heat. At the same time, watering is required very moderately - the soil cannot be over-moistened because marigolds can be affected by fungal diseases of the roots.
Marigolds are propagated by seeds: they are sown in March - early April in greenhouses or boxes, sprinkled with earth. After 5-6 days (at a temperature of +18 °C) the first shoots break through, when the 2nd leaf appears, they are pricked out. The required level of air humidity is 90-95%.
Seedlings are planted in the ground (pH 5.5-6.0) in early June. The soil under the marigolds is loosened, weeded and must be watered in the first half of summer.
In long-term dry weather, marigolds are affected by spider mites and, if they are not treated, they can die.
