# What’s wrong with my Marigold? I left this newly planted marigold for…

_Posted by N Klepczarek on 2025-09-12_

What’s wrong with my Marigold?  
I left this newly planted marigold for three weeks with my brother to water it. It was a pretty hot summer and may have gotten too much sun, but now that it’s indoors, its bottom leaves are discolored and misshapen. I thought it would get better but it’s just trying to bloom regardless. Is it a disease/illness? Or a deficiency? (Photos are from most recent to oldest)
