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.

Method to Reproduce Strawberries (Cambodia)

Method to Reproduce Strawberries in Pots

Sharing my successful experience of around five years with planting strawberries in Cambodia, I can say that growing strawberries in Cambodia's weather is challenging. The ideal temperature range for strawberries is 25 to 30°C. They need at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.

Strawberries grow well in compost-rich, loamy soil with excellent drainage. They should not be planted in frost conditions. It's important to maintain moderate humidity levels to prevent fungal diseases and promote healthy growth.
