How to plant impatiens seeds

1. Find a piece of loose, fertile, slightly sour soil, or a container such as a flowerpot, and put about 80% of the loose soil in the container, leaving a small part of the dry soil for reserve.

2. In the container, sprinkle a little water evenly, not too wet (spray a few drops, slightly wet). Sow the prepared impatiens seeds on the soil so that you don't have to sow them too densely and keep a proper distance.
