Growth habitImpatiens is sun-loving, afraid of humidity, heat-resistant and cold-resistant. The sunny topography and loose and fertile soil can also grow in poorer soil.
Impatiens has strong viability and good adaptability, and generally has few diseases and insect pests. If powdery mildew occurs due to high temperature and high humidity, it can be sprayed with 800 times liquid of 50% thiophanate-based wettable powder to prevent it. If leaf spot disease occurs, use 50% carbendazim wettable powder 500 times solution to prevent. The main pest of impatiens is the red hawk moth, whose larvae gnaw on the leaves of impatiens. If this pest is found, it can be manually captured and eliminated.
Impatiens can be planted from March to September, with April being the best time. Because its seed germination rate is relatively high, so there is no need for germination, but it can be soaked with medicine to prevent seedlings from disease. Generally choose a place with sufficient sunlight and fertile soil, level the soil as a border, and then sow the seeds into it, cover it with a layer of fine soil, press it lightly, and properly water and keep it moisturized. 1. Planting timeImpatiens is suitable for planting for a long time, from March to September, and April is the best time. Generally, it will bloom in two months after planting, and the flowering period can last about two months. If the planting time is late and the best development opportunity is missed, it will be necessary to wait until the next year to bloom.
2. Seed selection and disinfectionImpatiens seeds have a high germination rate. Although it is relatively small, it has a long life span. It can be stored for 3 years at room temperature, and the germination rate can still reach about 79% after planting. But in order to ensure the healthy growth of the seedlings, it is best to soak them with medicine, which can prevent the plants from damping-off.
3.select the land and level itPlanting impatiens needs to be done in a place with sufficient sunlight, fertile soil and good drainage. Before planting, apply enough base fertilizer to the soil, then plow the soil to let the fertilizer enter the soil, and then prepare the land for borders. Usually, high borders are used for planting in the south and flat borders for planting in the north. The width of the borders is about 1.2 meters.
4. sowingSow the seeds of impatiens into the soil, generally with a row spacing of 35 cm. First open a 1 cm ditch, spread the seeds evenly into it, cover a layer of soil, press lightly, and then water to keep the soil moist. When the temperature is around 25°C, seedlings can emerge in 5 days, and thinning is carried out when the seedlings grow to 5-10 cm.
