How to raise impatiens

Impatiens is also called henna, because folk petals are commonly used to dye fingernails, so it gets its name. Impatiens is extremely easy to feed, culture management is also relatively easy, but to maintain the leaf color of dark green, normal flowering, and a certain plant height, we still need to pay attention to some conservation work. Let's learn about the specific management of impatiens culture.

1. Temperature control

Impatiens bloom in the south around May, like the warm growth environment, generally the most suitable temperature for growth is about 15 to 25 degrees. Cool and warm environment are suitable for impatiens growth, but high-temperature plants are easy to lose water and wither, because the plants contain a lot of water, often high-temperature weather plants stand erect sooner or later, lose water at noon, and gradually recover in the evening. It will die in the severe cold in winter, and it will die gradually in autumn.

2. Lighting

Impatiens like light, flowering needs enough light, growth and development is the same, but strong light is harmful to growth. So summer planting in the open should be appropriate sunshade, potted can be moved to indoor, see the light and ventilation, not muggy place. Avoid strong light burning leaves and flowers. Lack of light is not good, it directly affects the flowering time.

3. Moisture

Impatiens like the moist soil growth environment, in the rural spring after a few common rain, impatiens buds on the emergence of large areas, spring rainy areas impatiens grow quickly, it is not long before the plant grows taller. So generally to meet the wettability of about 70%, not too dry, dry will lose water. In general, the root system absorbs well and can recover as long as it meets water after drought.

4. Fertilization

Impatiens plants prefer fertilizer, sufficient fertilizer, the growth of thick green leaves, bright flowers. However, if excessive fertilization, it will lead to plant overgrowth, after the whole stem uplifted, affecting the appearance, and the number of flowering will be reduced, in addition, in case of heavy summer rain, it is easy to fall to the ground.

5. Soil

The requirements of the soil are not strict, can be planted in the general soil, whether it is yellow soil or red soil, black soil and so on, even heavy and compact soil can grow. But they often grow in fertile soil, such as places with earthworms. So it's best to end up with deep, fertile, water-retaining loam.

Impatiens is a flower that is easy to cultivate and manage, although it is easy to breed, but in order to make it better, it can increase the impression. Attention can be paid to providing some good growth conditions in line with the growth characteristics of impatiens. The above is the content of impatiens culture.
