1. Loose soil: When cultivating impatiens, the soil should be loosened and weeded about twice a year to improve soil drainage and air permeability. 2. Fertilization: During the breeding period, cake fertilizer and farmyard manure should be applied to impatiens, and the fertilizer should be diluted before use. 3. Note: Impatiens bloom in autumn every year. At this time, thin flower buds should be cut off to encourage the plant to bloom more flowers. How to grow impatiens
1. Weeding and loosening the soil
Impatiens are suitable for growing in loose, breathable and nutrient-rich soil. During the cultivation process , it is necessary to regularly loosen and weed the impatiens to improve soil permeability and prevent weeds and plants from competing for nutrients. It is best to weed three times a year to allow the impatiens to grow better.
2. Supplement nutrients
Impatiens are fertilizer-loving plants. When the seedlings grow to 30 centimeters, nitrogen fertilizer and cake fertilizer can be applied to them. To increase the growth rate of the plant, before and after the flowering period of the impatiens, fertilizers such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate and ammonium sulfate should be applied to it to allow the plant to absorb balanced nutrients.
3. Prune
During the process of cultivating impatiens, it is necessary to prune them with a sharp knife from July to August every year. Use scissors to cut off the buds and twigs at the top of the branches to encourage the impatiens to sprout side branches and grow more flower buds. After pruning, apply plant ash to the wound to prevent the wound from rotting.
