By grades
In addition to taking into account favorable and unfavorable days, the period when to plant for seedlings is determined by the variety of the plant. In our region, preference is given to sowing marigold thin-leaved. Each variety of Chernobrivtsi differs in the duration of the period from germination to flowering. The difference on average is 1-2 weeks.
The first for Chernobrivtsi seedlings are better to take tall varieties. This is due to the fact that they develop more slowly than others, which means that they bloom later. After 14 days, low-growing varieties are planted so that they bloom in May at the same time. Thin-leaved marigolds grown at home develop and bloom the fastest, so the seeds are sown 1 week after undersized varieties.

It is recommended that residents of the Urals, Siberia and the Far East grow marigolds at home from the beginning of the first summer month. If planting is carried out in the middle lane, then the appropriate time will be from May 1 to 10, and in the south the seeds are sown from March 15 to the end of April. Be sure to control the climatic conditions in the region. This will help the long-term weather forecast.
If the gardener lives in a cold strip and wants marigolds to bloom in early May, they are planted under cover from a film. You can make an approximate calculation of the landing date in the suburbs, when the Chernobrivtsi bloom in late spring. Sowing is best done from March 23 to 28, then seedlings under the film are transferred to the open ground on May 5-10.
When to plant, to bloom in May
To begin with, it is worth determining at what age the seedlings will be moved to a permanent place. From the appearance of the first seedlings to transfer to the ground 1-2 months can pass. The first flowers will form in 40-50 days.When determining the date of planting, one must take into account that for the emergence of seedlings it takes 3-7 days, depending on the variety.
Marigolds, which were planted in January-February, are characterized by a short flowering period. Therefore, experienced gardeners recommend re-growing seedlings in March-April. In the colder regions, Chernobrivtsi will bloom in May only if they are grown in pots on a windowsill or balcony.
For the fastest possible development of seedlings of flowers planted in January-February, it is necessary to create additional lighting. To prolong the flowering period, dried buds should be regularly removed. With the right approach to choosing the date of sowing seeds, you can achieve abundant flowering during the period when the gardener wants.
Features planting on seedlings
Before transferring marigold seedlings to open ground, it must be grown. First of all, it is important that the seeds are not affected by a fungal disease. Therefore, it is necessary to thoroughly disinfect the soil.
To do this, offer one of several ways:
- washing the container with a mixture of the earth with a fungicidal solution (Fitosporin, Vitaros, Maxim);
- soil treatment with potassium permanganate solution (pale pink color);
- steaming or calcining the earth in a water bath in the oven (approximately 30-90 minutes);
- microwave tillage for 10 minutes at medium power.

- humus - 1 part;
- land from the garden or vegetable garden - 2 parts;
- peat - 1 part;
- coarse river sand - 1 part.
It is imperative to make holes in the bottom of the box or container for seedlings, so that during irrigation there is where to drain excess water. Before planting the seeds, the soil mixture is well shed with water and left for a day at a temperature of 18-21 ° C. After the allotted time, grooves are made on the soil surface, between which 3-4 cm are left.
Seeds are immersed in the ground to a depth of 1 cm, located at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from each other. Top seeds are covered with a mixture of soil and sand in a ratio of 1: 1. To get seedlings faster, before planting the seeds can be held in a damp cloth for a day, or 3 days in a plastic bag.
In the case of growing several varieties of flowers, it is better to leave a label with the name next to them. The box with seedlings should be at a temperature of 22-25 ° C. From above it is necessary to cover it with film or glass, which will help create the effect of a greenhouse. Before emergence, airing is done every day. On average, marigolds grow in 4-6 days, after which the box is transferred to a room where the temperature is not more than 18 ° C.
Seedling Care
After the first sprouts appear, the box with seedlings must be moved to a cooler place. However, you must maintain the proper level of lighting. When the first two true leaves are formed, seedlings are dived. The transplant is carried out in a container measuring 7x7 cm. Thanks to this, it will be better to get sunlight, and the seedlings will not stretch.
Marigolds are flowers that tolerate transplanting and diving, which even allows you to perform these manipulations during the flowering period. Seedling care is simple and consists of regular watering and maintaining the temperature within 20 ⁰C, as well as airing the greenhouse.
Initially watered with a spray, so that not yet mature shoots do not break, and the water does not erode the soil near the root system. Already 2 weeks after the dive, you can plant marigolds in open ground.
Growing tegetis in a summer cottage is simple and interesting. Since the flowers are unpretentious in care, the probability of obtaining seedlings and high-quality flowering is more than 95%. Depending on the variety, you can choose tall or short marigolds, which will allow you to beautifully arrange a flower bed and enjoy the result of your labors.
