How to plant Khmer - Marigold in the pot

 


I would like to share with you how to successfully plant marigolds in a pot based on my experiences. Marigold seeds typically germinate within 5 to 7 days under optimal conditions. After germination, the seedlings will grow rapidly, then I can expect to see the first blooms in about 8 to 10 weeks.

Marigolds start blooming about two to two and a half months after sowing the seeds. The flowers will bloom beautifully if they grow quickly. Their growth and blooming will adapt based on the climate conditions.

 

First Step

I harvest marigold seeds once the flowers have fully bloomed and started to dry out. This usually happens about 8 to 10 weeks after planting. The flower heads will turn brown and dry, and the seeds inside will be dark and hard. I simply cut off the dried flower heads and gently break them open to collect the seeds. I make sure the seeds are completely dry before storing them in a cool, dry place for future planting.

I take the seeds once they are completely dry and sow them in the ground. After sowing the seeds, they typically germinate within 5 to 7 days under optimal conditions. I observed that after germination, the seedlings grow rapidly.

Second Step 

I took some seedlings from the ground to plant in a pot because they have grown enough to be transplanted. Alternatively, you can leave them in their original place.

If the seedlings are smaller than these, I place them in a nutrient-rich plastic container first. After the second week, I will plant them in the pots.

Start by planting the seedlings in the pot. In each pot, I plant three seedlings and cut the top part about one-third off to encourage more branches and produce nice flowers.

 


Flowers/Blooming

Based on my experience, it blooms for many months (from October to March). It can bloom year-round depending on the resilience of the plant and the climate of the region.
