How to grow Impatiens (home growing method)

1. Breeding methods

1. Light: It is a plant that likes light. When growing it at home, you need to put it in a light place and let it bask in the sun every day. It must be exposed to light for at least 4 hours a day. But be aware that the light in summer is very strong, so block it appropriately and avoid long periods of exposure.

2. Watering: It requires a lot of water during the growth period, so water it frequently to keep the soil slightly moist, but be careful not to overwater. If there are continuous rainy days, the water must be drained in time. There must not be water accumulation in the potting soil to prevent its roots from rotting. In addition, watering should be increased during high temperatures in summer.

3. Soil: It has a strong adaptability and can grow normally in poor soil environment. However, when growing it at home, it is best to use loose, fertile, and well-drained soil, so that the overall growth will be better and stronger.

2. Common diseases

1. Powdery mildew: If the temperature is too high and the ventilation is poor during the maintenance period, the flower plants are prone to powdery mildew infection, mostly in June each year. When the disease occurs, yellow spots will appear on the leaves. Once discovered, the diseased leaves should be removed in time and sprayed with medicine to treat the disease.

2. Brown spot disease: Brown spot disease also appears on the leaves. After infection, the leaves will gradually turn yellow and even the plant will die. When you find any diseased leaves, cut them off and destroy them completely. You should also spray medicine in the later stage to avoid further infection.
