As soon as African Impatiens heard this name, many friends were stunned and couldn't help thinking about what kind of flower it was. In fact, as long as you say another name, you will know it in an instant. What girls like most is henna. Elegant posture, gorgeous buds and bright red colors are all deposited in our minds. I believe many friends, like uncle gardener, liked to dye their nails with it when they were young.

In fact, African Impatiens are very popular not only in China, but also abroad. It is the most common ornamental flower in urban and rural areas. Impatiens africana is highly sought after by the public because of its beautiful appearance, high survival rate, strong adaptability to environmental changes and rapid growth.

Although African Impatiens have strong adaptability, it does not mean that their reproduction is simple. There are certain requirements for light, soil, moisture and temperature.

Lighting requirements

Impatiens africana likes light as many flowers do, but it is not afraid of exposure. It likes plenty of light, but its leaves are easy to burn in the sun, so it needs proper shading in summer to keep a ventilated and cool environment. It is cold in winter, so it is necessary to cultivate Impatiens africana in a place with sufficient indoor light, and at the same time keep the room temperature above 12 degrees Celsius, otherwise it is easy to stop growing or even die.

Soil selection and fertilization

For African Impatiens, it is best to use sandy soil plus peat soil and chicken manure or cake fertilizer with sufficient fertility for planting. Impatiens africana needs to be fertilized once every half month after it grows and matures. Organic compound fertilizer is generally used for fertilization.

water requirement

It's summer, with high light intensity and high temperature. Therefore, friends who plant African Impatiens should pay attention to keep the soil moist, not too wet or too dry, otherwise it will have a great impact on the growth of plants. Daily need to water the soil and leaves to keep them moist.

High temperature is easy to get sunburned.

In summer, the weather is hot and the temperature is high. At this time, the growth of African Impatiens is difficult. If the temperature is higher than 30 degrees Celsius, your African Impatiens will easily fall off their petals and affect their growth. Therefore, African Impatiens need to pay special attention to shading in their daily cultivation in summer.

The main ornamental value of African Impatiens lies in flower viewing. Some friends complained about the impatiens they bought. What's wrong with always not flowering? In fact, it may be the lack of nitrogen fertilizer. Adding more fertilizer at this time can make your impatiens grow beautiful buds. If you want your impatiens to have more buds, you can make more branches during the core-taking, so that they can grow more side branches and your African impatiens can grow more buds! In addition, ensuring sufficient water, fertility and light are all necessary conditions for impatiens to bloom more.

In summer, the weather is hot and it is easy to rain heavily. Impatiens are prone to collapse and stem rot if it rains. At this time, it is necessary to use drug spraying immediately to avoid plant death caused by diffusion.

The above are the cultivation techniques of African Impatiens and the problems encountered in the cultivation process. Uncle gardener hopes this article can help you to some extent.
