After the impatiens blooms, the flowers are very bright, the flowering period is long, and the vitality is relatively strong, so it is used for urban greening in many places and has a very high ornamental value. Below, the editor will introduce the correct maintenance methods of impatiens, let’s take a look.

1. Breeding environment

The red sage is particularly easy to grow. It has strong adaptability and prefers a warm and sunny environment. It can tolerate partial shade, is not cold-resistant, and is afraid of frost, snow and high temperatures. It is not easy to plant in alkaline soil and is afraid of waterlogging. The impatiens in the south are in full bloom on New Year's Day.

2. Soil

When growing impatiens, you need to use soil. When preparing the soil, you need to be careful not to use soil that is easily compacted for cultivation. You just need to mix garden soil, leaf mold and river sand. The soil prepared in this way will be loose, breathable and well-drained, and the plant will be able to grow healthily and vigorously in such soil.

3. Temperature

Although the salvia is not resistant to low temperatures and can be easily frozen to death, as long as warming measures are taken and the temperature is controlled at around 25 degrees, it can still grow well, survive the entire winter safely and bloom beautiful flowers in the coming year.

4. Lighting

Impatiens is a sun-loving flower and has a very high demand for light. Only by allowing it to have sufficient exposure to sunlight and meeting its light needs can it better carry out photosynthesis, promote the differentiation of flower buds, and bloom beautiful flowers.

5. Watering

The salvia has a certain degree of drought resistance. It does not like to grow in too moist soil. When watering, you need to water it according to its needs. Do not allow water to accumulate in the soil or make it too moist, so as to avoid yellowing leaves or root rot, which will also affect flowering. When watering a bunch of red plants, you need to follow the principle of watering when the soil is dry and watering when it is wet. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry and just keep it slightly moist.

6. Fertilization

Impatiens is a flower that likes fertilizer. During its growth period, it needs to be fertilized in time according to its needs to supplement the nutrients it needs so that it can grow better. During the vigorous growth stage, you can apply decomposed cake fertilizer liquid once every half a month, and spray 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the leaves to ensure it has adequate nutrition, so that it can grow strong and bloom with beautiful colors.

The above is the correct maintenance method for impatiens. When growing impatiens in potted plants indoors, keep the air circulating. In high temperature, high humidity or insufficient light, rot is likely to occur, so take precautions.
