Part 1: How to Start Your Tangerine Gem Marigold Seeds 🌱

🤲 Lightly press the seeds down.
-
☀️ Put the pot in a warm, bright spot (like a windowsill) but out of direct scorching sunlight.
-
⏳ Seeds sprout in about 5–14 days—watch for green shoots!
-
💦 Water gently to keep the soil moist but not soggy.
-
🫧 (Optional) Cover with clear plastic or a damp paper towel to help maintain moisture during germination.
Part 2: Caring for Your Marigold Seedlings 🌿
-
🪴 When seedlings reach 2 inches tall, gently thin them to one per pot if crowded.
-
💦 Water when the top feels dry (every 1–3 days).
-
🌱 When plants reach about 4–6 inches tall, transplant to a larger pot with fresh soil.
