Cultivation methods and precautions of He's Impatiens

1. Temperature

It likes to grow in a warm and cool environment, and the best temperature is 17 to 20 degrees. If the temperature can be maintained above 16 degrees in winter, it will continue to bloom. It is not cold-resistant and can tolerate a minimum temperature of 5 degrees, so attention should be paid to keeping warm. In summer, if the temperature is above 25 degrees, the leaves will curl, leading to poor growth, so cooling is also required.

2. Lighting

Impatiens hendersonii likes light, so it should be placed in a place with good light. If the light is not sufficient, the number of flowers will be reduced. But please note that the light from May to September is quite strong, so you need to block it and avoid strong sunlight.

3. Watering

During maintenance and management, there is no need to water the plant unless the soil in the pot is dry, and each time you water it, make sure it is watered thoroughly. It cannot be too dry or have waterlogging, otherwise it will affect its growth. In addition, you need to pay attention to winter and control water. Keeping the soil dry is more conducive to wintering.

4. Fertilization

Fertilize frequently during the growing season, once or twice every half a month, but be careful to use thin fertilizers, as high concentrations will damage the roots and rhizomes. Nitrogen fertilizer should be applied during the seedling stage to promote leaf growth. During the flowering period, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be added to promote more and larger flowers.

5. Notes

During maintenance, it is important to repot the plant once every spring, because its roots grow very quickly, and when the space is full, it will affect flowering and growth. In addition, high temperature seasons are prone to cause diseases and insect pests, which require timely prevention and control.
