The marigold, also known as Tagetes, is a popular plant that is often found in gardens and on balconies. The mini version of the marigold is particularly compact and is well suited to pots or small beds.
Here is some information on the care and characteristics of the mini marigold:
Light: It needs a lot of sunlight, so a location with at least 6 hours of direct sun per day.
Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Too much water can cause root rot.
Soil: A well-drained soil is ideal. A mixture of potting soil and sand can help.
Fertilization: During the growing season (spring to autumn), a liquid fertilizer can be used every few weeks.
Blooming period: The marigold usually blooms from spring until the first frost and attracts bees and butterflies with its bright colors.
Uses: In addition to their decorative function, the flowers can also be edible and are sometimes used in salads or as a garnish.
