Gardener Tip: Overwatering is the most common reason African Marigold (Sondesh Mix) seedlings fail in Indian home gardens. Water only when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and always use a container with proper drainage holes — sitting in water for even a few hours can cause root rot that’s impossible to reverse.
