Cultivation of African double-petaled impatiens

1. Suitable soil

The choice of soil is very important. You can use a mixture of vermiculite, perlite, leaf mold, peat soil, etc. to ensure both permeability and nutrition.

2. Supplementary lighting

It needs plenty of sunlight to grow, but it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time. In fact, in summer, the weather is relatively hot and the light is very strong. It is necessary to take shade measures, or move directly to a cool and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight, otherwise it will affect the leaves and cause yellowing.

3. Proper watering

Watering needs to be moderate. Do not water every day. Water regularly during the growth period, but pay attention to the amount and do not allow water to accumulate. In addition to watering the roots, if the air is very dry, you can spray water on the leaves.

4. Apply fertilizer

African Impatiens is not a plant that likes fertilizer. It only needs to be fertilized regularly during the growth period to ensure good nutrition. Organic fertilizer can be used, but the concentration should not be too high. Note: if the plants have just been transplanted, do not apply fertilizer yet.

5. Temperature range

The suitable temperature for the growth of African double impatiens is around 15-25℃. It is afraid of the cold and needs to be well cared for in winter. The temperature should not be lower than 10 degrees Celsius.
