Impatiens
Temperature: Average warmth – minimum 55 F in winter. Keep at 60 F or more to ensure flowering during winter.
Light: Bright light is necessary, but avoid direct sunlight in summer. A few hours of sun are necessary in winter if the plant is to continue flowering.
Water: Keep compost moist at all times – daily watering may be necessary in summer. Reduce watering in winter.
Air Humidity: Mist leaves occasionally, but avoid open blooms.
Repotting: The pot must be filled with roots before the plant will flower freely. Repot, if necessary, in spring.
Propagation: Stem cuttings root readily at any time of the year. Sow seeds in spring. |
