Water - Marigolds need daily watering in the initial days but once established weekly watering is sufficient.
Sunlight - Most marigolds love full sunlight but can tolerate some shade. They prefer afternoon shade during summer.  
Temperature - The temperature above 35°C and below 4°C is not good for the growth of the marigold. The ideal temperature for growing marigolds is 18-30°C. 
Common pests and diseases - Insects such as snails, slugs, aphids, and spider mites inhibit the growth of marigolds. And some diseases such as root rot, and gray mold infect marigolds.
