How to plant Impatiens
This article provides an introduction to how to plant Impatiens, including planting methods and cultivation techniques for Impatiens. Below is a detailed explanation.
1. Before planting Impatiens, choose a plot with sufficient sunlight, loose soil, and convenient irrigation and drainage. Apply ample farmyard manure, cake fertilizer, etc., as a base fertilizer, and till the soil to a depth of 20 centimeters. Finally, create high ridges that are 1.2 meters wide.
2. Make shallow furrows with a spacing of 35 centimeters in the plot, then sow Impatiens seeds into the furrows. After covering with soil, slightly press down and water thoroughly. Keep the soil moist and control the maintenance temperature at around 25 degrees. Seedlings should emerge within about 5 days.
3. After the Impatiens seeds germinate, to prevent weeds from competing for water, it is necessary to regularly loosen the soil and remove weeds, usually 2-3 times a year. When the seedlings grow to 30-40 centimeters, you can remove the lower old leaves and the top of the stems to promote branching.
4. Impatiens are prone to powdery mildew during the growing period, which can harm the plant leaves and later spread to the tender stems, flowers, and fruits. Therefore, it is important to improve ventilation and lighting conditions for Impatiens. Regularly apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to enhance their disease resistance.
