Care Guide for New Guinea Impatiens:
Soil:
New Guinea Impatiens plants prefer well-drained, moist soil. The soil should have a loose structure to promote healthy root growth and prevent waterlogging.
pH:
The ideal soil pH for New Guinea Impatiens is slightly acidic, between 6.0 to 6.5.
Light Requirements:
New Guinea Impatiens thrive in partial shade, with 3 to 4 hours of sunlight per day. They perform best with morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening sun. They can tolerate full sun in moderate temperatures but avoid intense midday heat to prevent leaf damage.
Watering:
Regular watering is crucial to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure proper drainage. Check the soil frequently and water when the top inch feels dry.
Temperature:
Ideal daytime temperatures range between 21°C to 27°C. Avoid planting outdoors if night time temperatures drop below 10°C.
Pruning:
Prune regularly to maintain a bushy, attractive shape of Impatiens Hawkeri. Trim back leggy stems and remove dead leaves and flowers to encourage new growth.
Fertilising:
Feed your New Guinea Impatiens once a month during the growing season with a balanced fertiliser. Organic options like vermicompost, cow dung manure, and fish amino acid work best.
