1. How to fertilize Impatiens

1. Choose the type of fertilizer: When fertilizing Impatiens, you should choose the appropriate type of fertilizer, and the specific amount should be determined according to the growth conditions. If it is in the spring seedling growth stage, you can apply decomposed manure or compound fertilizer. If it is before flowering, you should stop applying nitrogen fertilizer and apply more phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer. This can promote flowering, prolong the flowering period, make the flower color brighter, and improve the ornamental value.

2. Application frequency: When applying fertilizer, pay attention to the frequency of application. It is best to apply thin fertilizers frequently. Fertilization can be done every half a month during the growing period, and more frequently before flowering, once every ten days, to ensure sufficient nutrients and promote flowering. In addition, it is recommended to water the plant appropriately after each fertilization to help dilute the fertilizer, promote faster absorption, and avoid fertilizer damage.
