plot time series dataframe and mark certain points using pandas and matplotlib

I have a dataframe storing a time series, which looks like as follows. How to plot it using time column as x-axis. Moreover, if I want to mark certain points between a given time period, e.g., 2014-11-18 to 2015-1-30. How to do that using matplotlib?

enter image description here

This is what I did, but it appears pretty small, and how to add some marks over the certain time period?

the easiest way to do this is to plot twice, the second plot having the extra style. Regarding the plot size, you can control the figsize parameter. Just set a tuple with the height and width you like

# make sure index is in datetime format
df_id_ts.index = pd.to_datetime(df_id_ts.index, figsize=(10,6))
ax = df_id_ts.plot()
df_id_ts['2014-11-18' : '2015-01-30'].plot(ax = ax, marker = 'ro')
