Of the balsam species, Impatiens walleriana is particularly important for garden and indoor cultivation. For most fans, long and abundant flowering is important. But which location is necessary for this?
Which location is ideal for Impatiens walleriana?
The ideal location for Impatiens walleriana is a bright, warm room with moderate to high humidity. Sunny to partially shaded places are suitable outdoors. Direct midday sun should be avoided to prevent rapid fading and wilting of the flowers.
Requirements for the outdoor location and room
In order to preserve and at the same time promote the bushy growth, a bright location is important. Otherwise the shoots will fall apart and become bald. Places in a sunny to partially shaded location are well suited for outdoor use. In winter the plant should be quartered as it is sensitive to frost.
In order to keep subsequent care as low as possible, the following should be observed when growing impatiens indoors:
- bright, warm room
- well suited: north, east and west windows
- South windows have a detrimental effect
- airy
- moderate to high humidity
Tip
Do not expose the jewelweed to direct midday sun! Otherwise the flowers will fade and wither more quickly.
