Detailed Horticultural Analysis
Flower pigment intensity is directly influenced by sunlight exposure and cool night temperatures. Providing Full Direct Sun (5-6 hours) stimulates higher anthocyanin pigment synthesis, resulting in richer, deeper, and longer-lasting floral coloration.
At our primary Saswad greenhouse propagation facility near Pune, we cultivate Calendula Officinalis (Pot Marigold) in sterile plug cells using 60% Red Soil + 25% Vermicompost + 15% Sand.
