The main causes of drooping leaves in noble lilies (Impatiens New Guinea hybrids) arewaterlogginganddry stress Waterlogging is caused by too frequent watering and standing water in the planter. Within a short time, root rot occurs because the excess water cannot drain away. Conversely, an Edellieschen needs to be watered abundantly, because dryness also leads to drooping leaves. You can distinguish between the causes using these characteristics:
- Waterlogging: muddy, damp substrate, dripping wet root ball, musty smell, hanging leaves turn yellow.
- Drought stress: noticeably dry potting soil, brown leaf tips, curled leaf edges, hanging leaves turn brown.

Tip
Edellieschen are sensitive to frost
At temperatures between 18° and 24° Celsius, noble lilies delight as lush, permanent bloomers. The critical temperature range begins below 15° Celsius. This means that the Noble Lieschen is significantly more sensitive to frost than its parent, the Busy Lieschen (Impatiens walleriana). That's why the Edellieschen is usually cultivated as an annual balcony plant. It is possible to overwinter as a houseplant if you put the noble lilies in a timely manner on the bright, warm windowsill.
