Growing time: Calendula chinita is an annual plant that blooms profusely from spring to fall. Plants begin to bloom approximately 6 to 8 weeks after sowing.
Special Features: Calendula Chinita is distinguished by its bright flowers and its ability to adapt to a variety of growing conditions. In addition to being an ornamental plant, its flowers are edible and are used in infusions, salads, and as a natural dye. It is also known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties, making it a popular choice in natural medicine.
Lighting: Prefers full sun for optimal growth and abundant flowering. Make sure plants receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Watering: Calendula Chinita is relatively drought tolerant, but prefers regular watering to maintain continuous blooming. Keep the soil lightly moist, but well-drained, and avoid overwatering to prevent fungal diseases.
Pests: This plant is generally resistant to pests, although it can be occasionally affected by aphids and spider mites. The use of environmentally friendly products, such as potassium soap and Neem oil, is recommended to keep pests under control.
