Tagetes is unpretentious, fast-growing, light and warm temperatures, drought, sustainable plant. Optimum temperature for development of young plants 18-20 ° C. At temperatures below 10 ° C leaves falling and the growth stops. Under -1 ...- 2 ° C the plants die.
Location: not in need of strong sunlight, although for maximum bloom they need direct sunlight. This is especially true for Tagetes tenuifolia. Slight bloom in spring and autumn.
Soil: Soil should be rich in nutrients or feeds before planting, it should be watered thoroughly in the first half of summer.
Care: are drought resistant, but at the beginning of growth, need watering, otherwise the plants will be weak and clusters - small. Tagetes erecta not bear abundance of moisture in the soil. In rainy weather, their many petals begin to rot. If the soil is full of water, the plants begin to die from fungal root diseases. Spring fertilization resulted in strong growth and delays flowering.
Diseases and pests: inflorescences in long rains often moldy. In hot dry conditions appear mites. To get rid of mites on the plant, the most important task is to increase the humidity, the germs can be sprayed several times daily with water. For complete destruction using 2-3-fold spraying with a mixture of onion, red pepper, yarrow.
Propagation: seed. Tagetes can be sown directly in the garden in late May - early June. Sprout 5-10 days after planting. If you cover it with lutrasil, spanbond, agrospan or others. material you to sow plant ten days earlier than usual time, and thus accelerates flowering.
If you sow in pots or as seedlings. In mid-March is sown Tagetes erecta, and Tagetes Tenuifolia and Tagetes Patula sown in early April. Subject to these conditions and the three species will begin to bloom in June. Tagetes seedlings easily be grown in closed environment to a bright window in a warm place until the plants become stronger. To get strong and healthy plants need food and liquid soil (1 part humus + 1 part peat 1 part sod land part sand + 0.5), temperature 18-22 ° C and moderate watering. Less demanding of soil and temperature are Tagetes Patula. Although Tagetes be considered modest, it is better to sow of fresh soil, especially for Tagetes Tenuifolia.
Seeds can be planted in pots or small pots sandacheta. At bottom, it is necessary to make drainage (drainage) of gravel, ceramic or coarse sand layer of 3 cm or holes. Otherwise, the plant may die from fungal diseases. Initially, more than made drainage is poured 2 / 3 of soil sealing by hand or trambova. The next layer should be soft-boiled able to have enough air for the growing roots. The seed is judged to 1-2 cm below the surface. After preparing the soil is watered and left for a two days in a warm place, even stuffy.
Tagetes seeds are large, so they can be planted in the furrows at a distance of 1-1,5 cm. Distance between furrows 1,5-2 cm. If you have rising stems thin enough light, they may become infected.
The easiest way to obtain the optimum density is already sowing of sprouted seeds. For germination is necessary to zastelete wet towel on the plate and make them play on it or in a plastic bag placed in a warm place. After 2-3 days the seeds sprout. Germinated seeds are sown to a depth of 0,5-1 cm. If Zerah seeds in the soil too deeply, they can not grow, especially Tagetes tenuifolia. After seeding of the surface layer, slightly irrigate and then cover with paper. Containers shall be placed in a warm place (22-25 ° C) and carefully monitor soil moisture. After 3-7 days, seedlings appear, should be moved to a brighter place with a lower temperature (18-20 ° C).
If density is a big dive. Seedlings ready for planting when couples are formed 2.3 sheets and strong root system. Planted in the ground in late May - early June, with 1-2 cm deeper than it was before. The distance between plants depends on the type and class. High species are planted at 40 x 40 cm, average of 30 x 30 cm high and low varieties and hybrids, 20 x 20 cm
Transplanting is easy at any age, even in the blossoming state.
Use: Tagetes protect planted near vegetables or other plants from several fungal diseases, mainly by Fusarium, and protect certain species of nematodes. For better blooms wilted flowers are removed. In water, they stand about three weeks. Tolerate pruning. Tagetes be used in all types of colored curbs, stripes, geometric shapes are made for arrays, flower terraces, paths, flower spots. Higher varieties are used to decorate the walls or hedges. They are very suitable for shady gardens and near ponds. Tagetes withstand harsh conditions and a small volume of soil. Therefore, they grow well in pots in the windows, combine well with other plants. There are cases, to survive the winter and spring again has great colors. (this applies only to Tagetes patula).
