As a gardening and landscaping expert, I have come across various companion planting strategies that can enhance the growth and health of plants. One such plant that is known for its beneficial properties is marigold. However, it is important to note that marigolds may not always be compatible with every plant. In fact, there are certain plants that marigolds should not be planted near.
One plant that is not recommended to be planted near marigolds is beans. Beans and marigolds do not make good companions as they both have similar nutrient requirements. When planted together, they may compete for nutrients in the soil, which can result in stunted growth or poor harvests for both plants. It is best to keep marigolds and beans separate in the garden.
Another plant that marigolds may not thrive near is cabbage. Cabbage plants are susceptible to a variety of pests, including cabbage worms and aphids. While marigolds are often used as a natural pest repellent, they do not have the same effectiveness against the specific pests that target cabbage. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid planting marigolds near cabbage to ensure the cabbage plants are protected.
Marigolds should not be planted near beans and cabbage. This is primarily due to nutrient competition with beans and the limited effectiveness of marigolds against pests that target cabbage. By being mindful of these planting considerations, you can create a harmonious and beneficial garden environment for all your plants.
Please note that the information provided is based on general gardening knowledge and experiences. Individual plant behavior and interactions may vary, so it is always recommended to observe and adjust your garden based on the specific conditions and needs of your plants.
