What should I do if the leaves of Impatiens curl and dry up? What is the reason for the leaves curling?

1. Water appropriately

Reason: Impatiens is a very easy-to-grow plant and is drought-tolerant. It does not need to be watered too frequently during maintenance, but if the soil is in a dry environment for a long time, the plant cannot absorb water and the leaves will slowly curl and dry up.

Treatment: If it is caused by lack of water, you need to replenish water as soon as possible. You can water thoroughly once to allow the soil and plants to absorb enough water. If you find the soil dry later, add water, especially during the growing season. Be careful not to overwater and avoid water accumulation.

2. Suitable lighting

Reason: Impatiens loves light and cannot grow without the sun. If there is no sunlight for a long time during the growth period, growth will be inhibited and poor growth will occur. Among them, curling edges and dry leaves are common phenomena.

Remedy: If it is lacking light, move it to a place with light as soon as possible. Be careful not to expose it to direct sunlight all at once, but increase the light intensity gradually. First expose to astigmatism, then direct light after recovery. If you encounter continuous strong light, avoid it in time and avoid excessive exposure to the sun.

3. Spray pesticides in time

Reason: If the growing environment provided is not suitable, the plant is susceptible to pests. For example, aphids, whiteflies, etc., the eggs they lay will remain on the leaves, causing the leaves to curl.

Treatment: If there are insect pests, spray pesticides as soon as possible. If there are few pests, they can be caught manually and completely eliminated. In addition, management should be strengthened in the later stage, the plants should be exposed to more sunlight and ventilation to avoid insect pests.
