1. Sowing method.

Before sowing impatiens seeds, the planting ground should be properly watered to make the soil moister, but it is not advisable to water too much. Then spread the seeds evenly in the soil, not too densely, otherwise it is not conducive to germination. After the seeds are sown, cover them with a layer of dry soil, the covering soil should not be too thick, just cover the seeds.

Second, post-sowing maintenance.

Impatiens seeds should be covered with plastic film after sowing, which can keep warm and moisturize and help the seeds germinate. And it is necessary to water properly every day to keep the soil moist, so that the seeds can germinate in about ten days, and the plastic film can be uncovered after germination.

The seeds of impatiens are as big as half a grain of rice, and the small ones are only as big as sesame seeds, and the skin is brown, and when cut, the middle is white.

The appearance of impatiens:

Impatiens plant 60 to 100 cm high, fleshy stems stout and erect, leaves lanceolate, narrowly elliptic or inverted-lanceolate, apex pointed or acute, margins sharply serrate, flowers solitary or two to three clusters in leaf axils, no peduncles, white, pink or purple.

Impatiens maintenance methods:

1. Control of the flowering period of impatiens.

If you want to delay the flowering of impatiens, you can sow seeds in early July, or use topping to delay the flowering of the plants and remove the early blooming flowers and buds.

Encourage impatiens to grow every fifteen to twenty days.

Top fertilization is applied once to encourage the plants to bloom and flourish after September.

2. Fertilization management of impatiens.

When the seedlings of impatiens are 30 to 40 cm high, the old leaves at the lower part of the stem of the plant are removed, the tips are cut off to promote the germination of new branches of impatiens, and at the same time, a sufficient amount of cake fertilizer is applied to the soil, and the soil is covered with water once to allow the roots of the plant to better absorb nutrients.

3. Watering method of impatiens.

In the process of maintaining impatiens, it is necessary to keep the soil moist, and the amount of watering needs to be increased in the hot weather in summer, but there can be no stagnant water, and the watering should be reduced in the rainy season, and drainage should be carried out in time to avoid the phenomenon of rotten roots of impatiens.

1. In the planting method of impatiens, you need to choose fertile and loose sandy soil soil first, and then turn the soil to make furrows, if you breed impatiens in the north, you can make them into a base scattered flat furrow, if you breed them in the south, you need to make them into a furrow half a meter to 1 meter high, and the width of the furrow can be about that.

2. After the furrow is made, an appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer can be sprinkled on the furrow as a base fertilizer, which can supplement the missing nutrients in the soil, shorten the dormancy time of the impatiens seeds, take root and germinate quickly, and then need to water the soil thoroughly.

3. When sowing, you need to open a small ditch 1 cm deep on the furrow, keep a distance of about 35 cm between the rows, and then put the seeds into the ditch, and finally cover the soil, control the temperature of the growth environment at 25, if the weather is cooler, it is best to cover it with a layer of mulch film to keep warm.

4. In the process of impatiens growing, we should always pay attention to check whether there are miscellaneous grasses born, and clean them up in time, otherwise impatiens can not absorb nutrients, it is difficult to grow, top dressing every 20 days or so, and you can choose organic compound fertilizer for fertilization.

5. In the Impatiens flowering period, it is necessary to prune off the residual flowers in time, in September every year, the flowers of the impatiens are almost all in full bloom, at this time, you can properly apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, Bopai's can make the flowers bloom more brilliantly, after the flowering period, you need to apply an organic fertilizer, timely replenishment of nutrients.

The impatiens are planted as follows:

1. Select a plot.

When planting impatiens, it is advisable to have sufficient sunshine, moist soil, fertile and loose and well-drained plots, apply sufficient base fertilizer after selecting the ground, and turn it deep and fine, and then do furrows after arguing the keys, the southern region is dominated by high furrows, and the northern region chooses flat furrows, and the furrow surface is wide and meter.

2. Sow seeds in time.

The seeds of impatiens are very small, before sowing, they are stirred evenly with moist fine sand, and then on the furrow surface according to the row spacing of 35 cm, open a shallow ditch of 1 cm, and the seeds are evenly sprinkled into the ditch, covered with soil and compacted after watering and moisturizing, and the seedling temperature is controlled at about 25 degrees Celsius.

3. Reasonable seedlings.

After the impatiens emerge, when the seedlings are 5-10 cm high, the small, delicate and overly dense seedlings should be removed in time, and the seedlings should be determined according to the plant spacing of 20 cm, adhere to the principle of reasonable dense planting, and weeds should be pulled out regularly, and weeding 2-3 times a year.

4. Post-management.

When impatiens seedlings grow to 30-40 cm high, you can remove the lower old leaves and tips, and apply a cake fertilizer to the plant, open a ditch before fertilization, sprinkle the fertilizer into the ditch and cover the soil with watering, promote the dissolution and absorption of fertilizer, and pay attention to drainage during the rainy period in summer.
