Knock on the blackboard and notice that we are talking about daffodils today, not daffodils. The flowers of Impatiens are very colorful. As a child, there may be many girls who will take off their petals and smear them on their fingernails. But today, we will not discuss the heart of beauty, but the winter of Impatiens. Since someone asked, it naturally means that the cold resistance of Impatiens is very poor, so how to maintain it?

Winter management of Impatiens

Winter performance

The Impatiens is very intolerant of cold, generally in autumn when the seeds mature, and then the whole plant begins to gradually become withered. When winter comes, naturally it stops growing completely, and the overground also shows a withered state, that is to say, the Impatiens enters the hibernation period for self-protection.

Lighting management

Impatiens like the light, suitable for warm environment, whether it is indoor potted or planted in the courtyard, it is best to choose some sunny location. In winter, don't think your Impatiens don't need to be managed. Put them in a dark place together with a flowerpot. This is not right. Even in the dormancy period, you should also ensure sufficient light. So when winter comes over spring, the Impatiens will still sprout and bloom.

Water management

The vitality of Impatiens is very tenacious in daily management, and it doesn't need too much attention from friends. But in winter, we should pay more attention to it. Although the light is as sufficient as other seasons, the water doesn't need so much. Because the growth of Impatiens in hibernation is stagnant, the ground is completely withered, only the root system needs a small amount of water, so flower friends should remember not to water too much, either not at all, or in the pot soil is very dry, a small amount of water.
