How to repot Impatiens

Time Selection

After Impatiens is sown, the seeds germinate. If the light and water conditions are suitable, the seedlings will be relatively sturdy and appear healthy.

After the seedlings have grown 4 leaves, they can be repotted. When it has 2 leaves, the plant is fragile and easily damaged, and the stem of the plant is easily broken.

Try to avoid exposure to the sun during the transplanting process, and the transplanting should not be too dense, about 30 cm between plants is enough.

Pot soil requirements

The Impatiens that is repotted needs certain nutrients. Appropriate fertilizers can be mixed into the potting soil, mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

Keep the potting soil moist and choose sandy soil with good air permeability.

Choose a flowerpot with a larger space, otherwise when the plant grows up, the root system will be constrained by the space in the small flowerpot and the plant will not grow big or in shape.

Maintenance

After planting, water the plants in time and keep the soil in the pot moist, but not waterlogged. Also, be careful not to keep the soil too wet for a long time, otherwise the roots and stems will easily rot.
