Introduction to the maintenance of impatiens which can blossom in semi-shade from sowing to flowering

Impatiens is a kind of potted flower that is very easy to raise. It doesn't like to be exposed to the hot sun, but likes a little shade and a little scattered light. It has rich varieties, beautiful and lovely flowers, and is very popular. I like to paint my fingers with its flowers when I was a child.

Conservation impatiens can give appropriate scattered light, summer can keep the soil moist, a little shade, pay attention to the soil not to accumulate water, it is a slightly heat-resistant plant, but very cold, winter temperature will dry up the plant.

As long as the roots of impatiens are protected from freezing to death in winter, they can still take root and sprout again the following year.

How to raise impatiens

I raise impatiens directly to buy some seeds to sow, its seed germination rate is very good, seedlings grow very fast, one day is the same, raise a few weeks can blossom, friends can wait for the weather to get cooler before sowing.

one

Soil selection for planting

Impatiens is not fastidious about the soil, but it is best to use loose, fertile and well-drained humus to ensure that it grows well, at least to avoid frequent stagnant water in the soil. Although it can grow in poor soil, it grows thin. and flowering will be reduced.

two

Sowing and reproduction

Sowing is very simple, the temperature is about 20 degrees, soak the seeds for 8 hours, directly bury the soil about 2cm to 3cm, then pour through water, put in warm shade, spray water to maintain humidity, sprout in less than a week, seedlings slowly see light, keep the soil slightly moist, water with small water, seedlings can grow 4 true leaves after transplanting.

Transplant

Seedling maintenance to avoid direct irrigation with water, it is easy to let the plant lodging, pay attention to do not expose to the sun, let its seedlings slowly adapt to the light, gradually increase the duration of light.

The seedlings can be transplanted when they grow except for 4 or 5 true leaves.

Generally, it takes less than two months to blossom, and when its seedlings grow to 15 centimeters, pinch the top for the first time to ensure that more branches will grow.

five

Proper lighting

Impatiens is a shade-tolerant plant that can blossom in the shade at home. It only needs a little scattered light to maintain good growth, about 3-5 hours of scattered light every day, and shade maintenance in summer to avoid exposure to the sun. Keep it on the indoor windowsill in winter to give enough scattered light.

Water and fertilizer management

Keep the soil in summer, but the soil should not be too wet, the second is to pay attention to the frequent application of thin fertilizer, you can give thin fertilizer and water about twice a month, so that it can bloom continuously.

How to make it blossom more

If you want impatiens to blossom more, pay attention to pinch the top and pick the heart properly, and promote it to grow more branches, so that it can give birth to more buds, its branches and leaves will grow more luxuriantly, and it can maintain a good growth condition.

Give more thin fertilizer before flowering and appropriate dihydrogen phosphate to ensure that it has enough nutrients to nurture buds and remove residual flowers in time after flowering.
