Sunlight and Temperature: Impatiens prefer partial shade to shade. They thrive in locations with indirect or filtered sunlight. Avoid exposing them to intense afternoon sun, as it can cause leaf burn or wilting.
Soil Conditions: Impatiens prefer well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Amend the soil with compost before planting to improve its fertility and drainage.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Impatiens have high water requirements, especially during hot weather. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer according to the package instructions. A regular feeding schedule every 2 to 3 weeks can promote healthy growth and abundant flowering.
Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as shredded bark or compost, around the base of the plants. Mulch helps retain soil moisture, suppresses weed growth, and regulates soil temperature.
