How to fertilize Impatiens

Although Impatiens is not as delicate as some succulents and hydroponic flowers, improper fertilization will directly cause the plant to die, which is quite willful.

When fertilizing Impatiens, use liquid fertilizer. Or put some granular fertilizer and pour some water on the fertilizer. When applying fertilizer, keep it away from the rhizomes, otherwise it will burn the seedlings and roots.

Fertilizer and water cannot get on the leaves, otherwise the leaves will dry out.

Try to choose phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and use less nitrogen fertilizers. The amount of fertilizer should be small, otherwise it will be detrimental to flowering.
