Well, let me tell ya, marigolds, them flowers are quite somethin’. They ain’t too fussy, but they do need water to keep ’em happy. Now, if you’re wonderin’ how much water them marigolds need every day, lemme explain it in simple words, so ya don’t go overboard or leave ’em thirstin’ for more.
First things first, marigolds don’t like sittin’ in water, oh no, that’s a quick way to make ’em sick, with their roots all rottin’. You wanna give ’em enough water, but not too much. So, what ya do is check the soil. Stick yer finger in it, and if the top inch feels dry, that’s yer sign. It’s time to water. Now, don’t go pourin’ a whole bucket in there, just enough to wet the soil nicely. Marigolds like their soil moist but not soggy, ya see?
Now, let me tell ya somethin’ important. When marigolds are growin’ in pots, they can dry up quicker than those in the ground. So, if ya got some marigolds in containers, ya gotta watch ’em a bit more. Maybe give ’em a drink every other day or so, especially when it’s hotter than a fryin’ pan outside. But if they’re in the ground, you can water ’em once or twice a week, dependin’ on how hot it gets. Just make sure you water right at the base, not all over the leaves. Them leaves don’t need water, it’s the roots that do the drinkin’.
In the hottest part of the summer, if it’s scorchin’ hot, marigolds might need water every day, but that’s only when they’re newly planted. Once they get settled in, they’ll handle a bit of dry weather better. But even then, they’ll still bloom nicer if you water ’em weekly. Remember, marigolds like the sun, they need it to bloom all pretty, so keep ’em in a sunny spot, but don’t forget the waterin’.
How to know if yer marigold needs water:
- If the leaves start turnin’ yellow or lookin’ sad, like a wilty old lettuce, it’s a sign they need some water.
- If the soil feels like dust when ya touch it, that means yer marigolds are thirsty.
- If the soil’s stickin’ to yer fingers like mud, that’s a sign yer givin’ ’em too much water.
Ya don’t want to go too long without waterin’ ’em either. If the soil stays dry for too long, the poor marigold won’t bloom like it should, and you’ll be stuck with a sad lookin’ garden. So, just keep an eye on ’em, give ’em water when they need it, and don’t drown ’em. If ya follow these simple tips, you’ll have bright, happy marigolds all season long.
And remember, marigolds grow fast and they don’t need a lotta fussin’ over, which makes ’em perfect if ya ain’t got much experience with flowers. Just keep the waterin’ right and let the sun do its job, and you’ll have yourself a garden full of them pretty marigold blooms from summer right into fall. Ain’t nothin’ prettier than that, if ya ask me.
