The suitable growth temperature is 15 - 30 degrees Celsius. When winter comes, it should be moved indoors for cold protection.

Then, there are no special requirements for the soil. Ordinary garden soil is fine. Keep the soil slightly moist on a daily basis. When watering, try not to directly sprinkle water on the leaves to avoid rotting the roots. Finally, apply compound fertilizer or phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once a month during the vigorous growth period of Tagetes patula.
