Gardening is all about energy ☀️ And pruning is a way to help your plant redirect its energy. Marigolds from the nursery have often been ‘bloomed up’ so you’re more likely to buy. But that one pretty bloom is draining the plant of the energy it should be putting into-settling its roots, growing a strong main stem and nurturing dozens of new blooms. So go ahead-it’s painful but it works-cut off those blooms as soon as you plant those beautiful new marigolds and get ready for the healthiest plants

This vibrant bloom is a Marigold (Tagetes)🏵️🌸🌼 — a cheerful and hardy flower known for its layered petals, bold color contrasts, and sun-loving nature. #flowers #flowerslovers #garden #gardening | Ammy Lia
