Of the Balsam species, Impatiens walleriana is particularly important for garden and indoor culture. A long and rich bloom is important for most fans. But which location is necessary for this?
The Impatiens walleriana loves the sun
Requirements for location in the open field and room
A bright location is important in order to preserve and at the same time promote the bushy growth. Otherwise the shoots will fall apart and become bare. Places in a sunny to semi-shady location are well suited outdoors. In winter, the plant should be quartered because it is sensitive to frost.
In order to keep subsequent care as low as possible, the following should be observed when cultivating impatiens indoors:
- bright, warm room
- well suited: north, east and west windows
- South windows have a detrimental effect
- airy
- moderate to high humidity
tips
Do not expose balsam to direct midday sun! Otherwise, the flowers will fade and wither faster.
