What to do if Impatiens balsamina wilts

Causes of wilting

Too much water or drought

Impatiens does not require much water, but some flower lovers like to water it thoroughly at one time until water seeps out from the bottom of the pot. This is not right.

Too much water can cause the roots to rot easily. Once the roots rot, the leaves will wilt and the entire plant may even die.

Sun exposure

Impatiens needs full-sun care and frequent exposure to the sun to grow well. However, the scorching sun in summer will cause the leaves to wilt, droop and lose their vitality.

Improper fertilization

When applying fertilizer to Feng Xinhua, be sure to avoid the stems, otherwise it will easily burn the roots and cause the plant to wilt.

Can it be saved?

Water control or watering

Long-term watering and frequent waterlogging will cause wilting, so you can take water control measures first. If there is no improvement after two days of water control, you will need to cut off the branches and use cuttings to save it.

Drought-induced leaf wilting can be reversed by watering once.

Shade

If the plant wilts due to excessive exposure to the sun, you need to move it to a cool place and provide shade. Wait until the plant recovers, then water and maintain it appropriately.

Cuttings

If the wilting is caused by fertilization, the chances of reviving it are slim. But you can also try the cutting method. After all, you can always try it out, right?
