Sprinkle the marigold seeds over the potting mix. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of vermiculite. Cover the pot or tray with plastic wrap and place the tray in a warm spot. The top of the refrigerator works well. Marigold seeds do not need any light to germinate, so you do not need to provide light yet.The next step for growing marigolds from seed is to check the planted marigold seeds daily for germination. Typically, marigolds will take 3-4 days to germinate, but may take a few days longer if the location is cooler. Once the marigold seedlings appear, remove the plastic wrap and move the tray to a location where the seedlings will get at least 5 hours or more of light a day. The light can be from an artificial source.As the seedlings grow, keep the potting mix damp by watering from below. This will help to prevent damping off.Once the seedlings have 2 sets of true leaves, they can be transplanted to their own pots where they can grow indoors under light until after the last frost has passed.How to Grow MarigoldsMarigolds are a very versatile flow.
