Impatiens , also known as henna, daughter flower or impatiens balsamina , is a widely known flower with many varieties. It is loved by women for its rich colors and ability to dye nails. Impatiens not only has an elegant appearance, but also has a strong fragrance. It is most charming when it blooms in the morning, which is the best time to appreciate it. If you want to grow Impatiens at home, you should first learn how to water Impatiens. 1. Watering Impatiens prefers dry conditions and is suitable for growing in sunny environments with loose and fertile soil. When watering, just keep the soil slightly moist and avoid overwatering. The frequency of watering can be increased appropriately during the growth period, and it is recommended to water once every 1-2 days, but it should be adjusted according to the actual climate and light conditions. When watering, make sure the soil is dry to a depth of three centimeters before watering thoroughly. At the same time, keep the environment ventilated to prevent water accumulation at the roots and leaf shrinkage. In spring and autumn, water once every 2-3 days. In summer, due to rapid evaporation, water once in the morning and evening every day. In winter, reduce to once every 4-6 days. 2. Fertilization In order to make the flowers of Impatiens more colorful, timely fertilization is necessary. If the plant is not growing well, you can apply liquid fertilizer or granular fertilizer once every half a month, and water it appropriately to help the fertilizer dissolve. It is recommended to use phosphorus and potassium fertilizers or soybean cake fertilizers, reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizers, and avoid excessive fertilization. When applying fertilizer, be careful to keep it away from the rhizomes to prevent root burn, and also avoid fertilizer water getting on the leaves to prevent the leaves from drying out. 3. Lighting Impatiens loves sunlight, and sufficient light helps promote flowering. It is recommended to ensure at least 8 hours of light exposure per day. Impatiens can be placed outdoors in spring and autumn, and in winter they should be exposed to more sunlight as much as possible. In summer, you need to avoid direct strong sunlight at noon and choose to keep it in semi-shade. The above is an introduction to some watering and maintenance tips for Impatiens. Many of our friends played with it when they were young, but they didn’t know that it was somewhat toxic. However, the toxic substances in Impatiens will not evaporate directly, but release toxins through the roots during the growth process and penetrate into the soil. In this way, the soil where it grows can no longer grow other crops.
