My mom gifted me some marigold seeds again. In the past I have not been able to keep them alive until the flowering stage any suggestions? Last year I kept them in sunny spot and did my best not to over water. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I don’t have a great suggestion but it sounds like they are surviving a while and dying off after breaking ground? If that’s the case I’d think, with the caveat that I know just enough to hurt myself, that the location/sun, container, or watering frequency/amount need to be changed. I know that’s like the most generic “well take care of it” answer but without knowing more specifics that’s probably the best we can give you. To my knowledge they don’t need much in the way of special treatment to grow.

If you want I feel like someone could probably help with some additional info on the below:

How often are you watering? How much?

Are they full sun(>=6hr), partial(3/4-6hrs)?

What are they in? Both medium and container size?

Do you have any pictures of them before they die back?

I don't think I have a picture but it probably is a watering problem. Thank you!

Hello folks, I’m after some advice please. I recently bought a couple of indoor plants and added to the cart what I think is a very expensive bottle of natural mist to use on the leaves. All organic, glass bottle etc. supposed to use it 2-3 times per week but 2 weeks in I’m down to half a bottle and it was £15 (approx $20). I understand that I need to nurture the plants but it strikes me as a rather expensive mist. Is there anything you’d recommend I can use instead? Thanks.
