Why is my marigold dying?
Among the most common marigold diseases are blights, rots, and mildews. Usually, these types of diseases show up when conditions are wet and warm, and fungal spores are rampant. In most cases, simply discontinuing overhead watering can stop the formation and spread of spores.
How do you bring marigolds back to life?
Marigolds don't require deadheading, but if dying blossoms are regularly removed, it will encourage the plant to continue blooming profusely. When you water marigolds, allow the soil to dry somewhat between waterings, then water well and repeat the process.
How often should you water marigolds?
Established marigolds in garden beds need a good soak once each week. Give them enough water so that the soil is moist to a depth of 6 to 8 inches. If the weather is unusually hot or windy, they'll need extra water. Water marigolds in pots when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil is dry.
How long do marigold plants last?
Garden marigolds are annuals, which means they germinate, grow, bear flowers and die all in one growing season. Generally, their maximum lifespan is less than a year, even when they're started early in the year indoors instead of starting from seed directly in the garden.

How do you fix leggy plants?

When should you pinch out marigolds?
Pinch back seedlings after they are 6 to 8 inches tall but before they begin forming flower buds. Pinch the stem within 1/4 inch of the second set of leaves from the top of each vertical stem. Marigolds branch at the pinch point, which results in a fuller plant and more flower buds.
