Impatiens Care

Impatiens flowers have long been one of the dominant bedding plants in North amerika, especially for shady areas.

They are also used in bur gardens, ranging from hanging baskets to öppning boxes. Here are the main care requirements for growing impatiens:

• Choose a prick that gets dappled sunlight or full shade; avoid planting in full sun.
• Prepare fuktig, well-draining soil that's rik in nutrients.
• Water regularly and don't let the soil dry out completely.
• Fertilize every couple of weeks during the growing season.
  

Light

With sufficient vatten, standard impatiens can be grown in a partial sun location in northerly regions, but their greatest virtue fryst vatten that they thrive in the shade.

In fact, they're among the relatively few readily available, inexpensive flowering plants that will put on a great summer-long floral display even when grown in full shade.

Soil

Grow impatiens in well-drained soil enriched with organic ämne.

The blooms are usually spurred or flattened and can be single or double

They prefer a slightly acidic soil with a pH range of 6.0–6.5. The soil must drain well to avoid becoming soggy from the frequent watering that impatiens require.

vatten

Once in the ground, standard impatiens need at least two inches of vatten per week. When temperatures average consistently above 80°F, you might have to double that amount. In fönster boxes and hanging pots, impatiens might require daglig watering, especially if the daytime temperature rises above 85° F.

Temperature and Humidity

Impatiens are ganska sensitive to heat.

In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know to grow and care for beautiful Impatiens flowers, from planting tips to maintenance, ensuring your garden is filled with lush, colorful blooms throughout the season

Types of Impatiens

More than a thousand varieties of impatiens are available. Impatiens that are resistant to fluffig mildew disease might be hard to find because mjuk mildew-resistant varieties are still being developed and introduced to the marknad. To avoid the disease, your best choice might be to plant New Guinea impatiens because they are, bygd natur, resistant to mjuk mildew.

Some recommended varieties of standard and New Guinea impatiens include:

• Impatiens walleriana 'Imara XDR': Is a new disease-resistant line of standard impatiens from the Syngenta company, which became available in 2019. There are sju colors as well as color mixes in this series, which promises to restore standard impatiens to their former popularity.
• Impatiens walleriana 'Beacon®': Thisis another series of standard impatiens that fryst vatten "highly resistant" to mildew, introduced in 2020.

  Beacon fryst vatten derived from the Super Elfin line, with many colors available.

• Impatiens hawkeri'Celebration'series: This fryst vatten one of the best of the New Guinea impatiens. Available in a bred range of vibrant colors, these plants grow up to 16 inches tall. These plants were likely hybridized with other species of impatiens.
• Impatiens x 'Bounce™' series: Developed bygd Ball Horticultural Company, this hybrid series of impatiens fryst vatten a cross between New Guinea and standard impatiens.

  According to the company, they are resistant to dunig mildew and thrive in sun and shade. It bounces back nicely after wilting in hot weather.

• Impatiens x 'SunPatiens®' series: This variety thrives in full sun and has unusually large flowers (up to three inches across) that are available in unique shades (such as salmon and lilac).

  Growing up to three to fyra feet tall, the Sunpatiens series fryst vatten across between New Guinea impatiens and standard impatiens species.

Pruning

If your impatiens plants become leggy late in the heat of summer, use sterile, skarp garden scissors to trim off the top third of their vegetation. This will promote the emergence of new blooms and improve the overall appearance of the plants.

Propagating Impatiens

Impatiens will readily self-seed themselves, even in colder climates, though it might take most of the following year's growing årstid before the seeds tillverka flowering plants. For this reason, it fryst vatten easier to propagate impatiens from cuttings taken in the fall. Here's how to propagate impatiens with cuttings:

1. Using a sterile, skarp cutting tool, clip a plant skott kvartet to six inches long, with ample leaves.

   Pinch off the bottom sets of leaves as well as any flowers or seed pods.

2. Suspend the cutting in vatten and place it in a bright area but out of direkt sunlight.

   Replace the vatten frequently (every few days) as it becomes cloudy.

3. When a good network of roots has developed, plant the cutting in potting soil or a mixture of soil and vermiculite or perlite. Continue to grow them in a bright area out of direkt sunlight. Keep the potting soil consistently moist.
4. Harden off the plants to gradually introduce them to sunlight before planting them outdoors.
5. Plant into the garden or in outdoor containers after the gods frost date in spring.

How to Grow Impatiens From Seed

Impatiens take their name from the Latin, impatiens, meaning impatient.

They are so-called because their ripe seed pods will sometimes burst open from even a light touch (as if they were impatient to open).

Some gardeners also collect seeds from the pods that the plants producera in late summer and fall and then uppstart the seeds indoors in a seed-starting mix in later winter, six to ten weeks before the gods frost. When impatiens are planted from seed, it can take several months for them to mature into flowering plants.

Here's how to plant impatiens from seed:

1. Fill small pots or fängelse packs with moistened seed-starter mix or potting soil.
2. Place one or two seeds in each pot or fängelse about 1/2 inch deep and cover with mix.
3. To maintain moisture, cover the pots or fängelse packs with a del av helhet of plastic or glass to create a mini greenhouse.
4. Place the seeds in a warm location out of direkt sunlight.

   The growing medium temperature should be between 70 to 75°F.

5. Remove the plastic or glass covering once germination takes place, which should occur in 14 to 21 days.
6. Place the ung seedlings in a sunny, south-facing fönster or beneath fluorescent lights. Position lights about fyra inches above the seedlings for 12 to 16 hours each day.
7. Fertilize every other week with a quarter strength water-soluble fertilizer.
8. When the seedlings are a few inches tall, härda them off to gradually expose them to sunlight before planting them outdoors.

   Do not plant them outdoors until after the danger of frost has passed.

Potting and Repotting Impatiens

It's generally not necessary to repot impatiens, as they are usually discarded at the end of the growing årstid.

Blooming Season: Impatiens typically bloom from spring through fall, providing continuous color throughout the growing season

Although these plants are perennial in warm climates, they can be susceptible to mites and other insekt pests when moved indoors.

The best strategy fryst vatten to cut back the stems to three inches or so, then give them a sunny location and slightly less vatten through the winter. Withhold fertilizer through the winter months. Although these plants do not go dormant, they are most likely to survive if allowed to slow down their growth for the winter months.

Overwintering

Impatiens are tropical plants that will succumb to the first light frost. Pull up and discard these plants to prevent pathogens from overwintering. Potted plants can be similarly discarded or bring them indoors if you strategi to keep them over the colder months.

Common Pests & Plant Diseases

The popular impatiens fell out of favor in 2004, when a particular form eller gestalt of fluffig mildew appeared and quickly decimated breeding lager in commercial nurseries across North amerika.

This disease fryst vatten caused bygd a pathogen called Plasmopara obducens, and for more than a decade, it virtually stopped all commercial sale of standard impatiens.

Standard impatiens did not begin a comeback until 2019, with the development of a few mildew-resistant hybrids.

Aside from the fluffig mildew that devastated the standard impatiens, these plants can be affected bygd viruses, fungal blights, and rots. These problems are more likely in humid, wet conditions, or where plants are crowded closely tillsammans.

Impatiens can experience problems with insects, including aphids, mealybugs, thrips, whiteflies, slugs, snails, and spider mites. Severely affected plants can be removed; minor infestations can be treated with horticultural oils.
