How to raise impatiens, how to plant impatiens/sufficient sunshine to maintain ambient temperature

Impatiens is a common kind of flower in people's life, and it is cultivated by many people all over the country. There is also a lot of attention to how to raise impatiens, sunshine, soil, watering and other aspects should be paid attention to, so what is the specific planting method of impatiens? Next, the editor will take you to learn about it.

How to raise impatiens

If you want to raise impatiens well, from choosing soil, sowing seeds and raising seedlings, you can't take a single step in management. only when these aspects meet the requirements can you raise impatiens well. of course, the growth environment is also very important for raising impatiens. About how to raise impatiens, what is the planting method of impatiens, the editor will take you to know.

Second, the planting method of impatiens.

1. Soil

In the planting method of impatiens, choosing soil as the first step is the most important. If you want to raise it well, it is best to choose a soil with good drainage, so that it can better absorb nutrients, and sandy loam is the best.

two。 Sowing seeds

To sow impatiens, you need to put the soil in the basin, flatten it with your hand, then put the selected seeds in the soil, place a layer of soil on the top, and water it in time, which will be beneficial to the growth of impatiens. To achieve this, the sowing process of impatiens has been basically completed.

Note: according to the region, the event of impatiens sowing is also different. If it is in the south, it is best to sow in March, while in the north, it is April. And remember to keep the soil moist after sowing, and it is best to be born in the environment around 18-25 °.

3. Raising seedlings

Generally speaking, impatiens will sprout about 5-6 days after sowing, and 3-4 real leaves can be planted in flowerpots. If it is planted in a large area, it is best if the column spacing is about 30 cm.

Note: impatiens can be sprayed with 2-3 variable nitrogen fertilizer when raising seedlings, which will be beneficial to its growth. When planting in a large area, keep in mind that the density of the seedlings is not too dense, otherwise it will affect the growth.

4. Light

In the process of planting impatiens, it is best to have no less than four hours of sunshine every day. Adequate sunshine is extremely important for the growth of impatiens, because impatiens is a kind of plant that likes sunlight very much and belongs to a kind of plant that is heat-resistant and not cold-resistant.

Note: although impatiens like the sun very much, when the summer sunshine is too strong, such as noon, it is best to move it to the indoor semi-shade to prevent, generally sunburn, winter should pay attention to keep warm, impatiens growth environment temperature had better not be lower than 10 °.

Introduction of African impatiens, its planting methods and techniques as well as matters needing attention

African impatiens, which offers a wide range of bright colors and is thriving and easy to manage. The leaves and flowers are very colorful and colorful. So how to raise African impatiens? Let's get to know it with the editor.

Morphological characteristics

Flowering stems 40-100 cm tall, fleshy, stout, erect. Upper part of branches, pilose or nearly smooth. Leaves alternate, broad or narrowly lanceolate, about 10 cm long, apex acuminate, margin acute, base cuneate; there are several pairs of glands near petiole. Its flowers are shaped like butterflies, and their colors are pink, bright red, purple, white and yellow, sprinkling gold and so on. Some varieties can have flowers of several colors on the same plant. Impatiens multi-single, double called balsam. According to the ancient flower spectrum, there are more than 200 varieties of impatiens, many of which have been lost. Due to the variation of impatiens, through artificial cultivation and selection, some good varieties have been produced, such as five colors when the head Phoenix, the top of the peanut stem, large and colorful flowers, as well as ten brocade and so on. According to the different flower patterns, it can be divided into rose type, camellia type, carnation type and so on. The flowering period of impatiens is from June to August, and the capsule is spindle-shaped, with white hairs, and the peach-shaped peach-shaped peach

Herbs annual, 60-100 cm tall. Stems stout, fleshy, erect, unbranched or branched, glabrous or sparsely pilose when young, base up to 8 mm in diameter, with numerous fibrous roots, lower nodes often inflated. Leaves alternate, lowermost leaves sometimes opposite

Leaf blade lanceolate, narrowly elliptic or oblanceolate, 4-12 cm long and 1.5-3 cm wide, apex acute or acuminate, base cuneate, margin sharply serrate, often with several pairs of sessile black glands toward base, both surfaces glabrous or sparsely pilose, lateral veins 4-7 pairs; petiole 1-3 cm long, with shallow grooves above, with several pairs of stipitate glands on both sides. Flowers solitary or 2-3 clusters in leaf axils, without total pedicel, white, pink or purple, single or double; pedicel 2-2.5 cm long, densely pilose; bracts linear, located at base of pedicel; lateral sepals 2, ovate or ovate-lanceolate, 2-3 mm long, lip deeply navicular, 13-19 mm long, 4-8 mm wide, pilose, base acute growing 1-2.5 cm. Upper petal orbicular, cucullate, apex retuse, abaxial midrib narrowly keeled, apex mucronate, wing shortly stipitate, 23-35 mm long, 2-lobed, lower lobe small, Obovate-oblong, upper lobe suborbicular, apex 2-lobed, outer margin 2-lobed near base; stamens 5, filaments linear, anther ovoid, tip obtuse; ovary fusiform, densely pilose. Capsule broadly fusiform, 10-20 mm long: both ends pointed, densely pilose. Seeds numerous, globose, 1.5-3 mm in diam., dark brown. The florescence is from July to October.

Growing environment

African impatiens like a warm and humid environment, not cold-resistant, afraid of frost, avoid exposure to the sun and rain, half-day or sunshine to retain 60-70% of the best light conditions, the appropriate temperature for growth is 15-25 ℃, the temperature can be maintained at a general level.

African impatiens are native to the eastern tropics of Africa. Like warm, humid and sunny environment. Not resistant to high temperature and hot sun exposure. African impatiens were sensitive to temperature, and the optimum growth temperature was 17: 20 ℃ and 21: 23 ℃, respectively. The winter temperature is not lower than 12 ℃. The plants below 5 ℃ were damaged by freezing. The phenomenon of falling flowers will be caused when the room temperature is higher than 30 ℃ at flowering stage. So far, the heat-resistant varieties selected can withstand high temperature of more than 30 ℃.

African impatiens have relatively strict requirements for water, and the basin soil must be kept moist at the seedling stage, and dehydration and drought must be avoided, which is disadvantageous to the growth of roots and leaves. When the air is dry in summer and autumn, water should be sprayed frequently to maintain a certain air humidity, which is very beneficial to the growth and branching of stems and leaves. But no water can be accumulated in the basin, otherwise the plant will be waterlogged and die.

African impatiens in the growth process, especially in the summer high temperature and flowering, to prevent strong light direct, should set up a sunshade net to prevent strong light exposure. Sufficient sunshine is needed when cultivated indoors in winter, but proper shading in strong light at noon is beneficial to the growth of African impatiens leaves and prolong the flowering and ornamental period.

Loose, fertile and well-drained rotten leaf soil or peat soil is suitable for soil, and pH is the most suitable for 5.5-6.0.

Culture methods of African impatiens

The cultivation and management of basin soil should choose loose and fertile sandy loam, for example, it is better to use peat soil of 1gram 2 or rotten leaf soil with sandy loam of 1max 2 plus some rotten cake fertilizer powder or market chicken manure, which is loose and fertile, which is more suitable for plant growth and root growth of young plants. The seedlings can be divided once at the 2-leaf stage and planted in the flowerpot when they are about 4 cm high. When planting, it is best to choose cold clips and wet environment to help slow the survival of seedlings and early flowering. After the planting survived, the heart can be removed once to promote lateral branches, which is beneficial to multi-branch and multi-flowering. The growth of seedlings is slow, but the seedlings can blossom. With the growth of seedlings, fertilizer and water management should be strengthened, dilute organic liquid fertilizer or 0.3% compound fertilizer can be applied once every 10 days. The flower likes to be warm, moist and avoid strong light. It is best to place it in a place where there is half a day or 70% light every day, and water is often sprayed around it, so as to keep the plant plump and the flowers blooming continuously. Great African impatiens like half-day light conditions, and have successfully bred sun-resistant varieties, such as the exhibition series can also grow well in full-day light, so they are also suitable for planting in flower beds.

African impatiens are suitable for planting on family balconies or windowsills or in the shade of courtyard trees because of their preference for semi-shade. There is degeneration in the flowering of the old plant, and the plant is not beautiful, so the new plant should be replaced by cutting and pruning.

The suitable temperature for germination and growth of Camellia impatiens is 22-30 ℃ and 15-32 ℃, respectively. The seeds are sown on the culture soil, then germinate after 5-6 days. When the true leaves are 3-4 pieces, they can be planted in flowerpots or flower beds with a distance of 30 cm. The cultivated soil is fertile sandy soil with good drainage, sufficient sunshine, coring when the plant height is about 10 cm after planting, and appropriate application of compound fertilizer and organic fertilizer during the growth period. The specific planting methods are as follows: camellia impatiens can be sowed in all four seasons, and can be sowed or sowed on demand. 128hole trays are used for sowing, and the suitable sowing temperature is about 20 ℃, and seedlings emerge in about one week. When the seeding seedlings are 5 cm high, they are transplanted for the first time, moved in a nutrition bowl of 8 cm, and planted in a basin of 15 cm at about 12 cm. The soil is mixed with peat soil 2, vermiculite or river sand 1 and slag 1, and an appropriate amount of sheep dung can be added as base fertilizer. For individual species and varieties with poor branching, such as New Guinea impatiens, they should be pinched properly at seedling stage. High temperature drying will make the impatiens leaves thicker and not stretch, the internodes become shorter, and when the plant shape is seriously affected, it will stop growing, so it is necessary to keep the environment cool and shade properly over the summer, the strong sunlight will burn the leaves, and if the light is too weak, the plants will grow too much, the leaves will become thinner and the leaves will be light green. In order to use flowers for the "National Day", in addition to choosing more heat-resistant varieties, you can also sow seeds in June and put the seedlings in the mountains about 800 meters above sea level in July and August to spend the summer. Impatiens need plenty of light in winter and spring, so they don't need shade. During the growth period to ensure the supply of water, especially in summer watering should be timely and adequate, keep the basin soil moist but not stagnant water, basin soil dry plants are very easy to wilt, when wilting, watering is easy to cause rot. Stagnant water is apt to rot. Maintain a certain amount of air humidity throughout the growing season, and spray water to the leaves and the ground in summer to increase air humidity. In order to control plant height and plant shape, in addition to applying more nitrogen fertilizer in the early stage, the application of nitrogen fertilizer should be controlled before and after flowering. Camellia impatiens cuttage can also be carried out throughout the year, select strong branches, cut off about 8 cm as cuttings, keep the temperature 20 ℃, about 20 days to root, summer water cutting is also easy to root.
