Overwintering management of Impatiens

Winter performance

Impatiens is very intolerant of cold. Generally, the seeds mature in autumn, and then the whole plant begins to wither gradually. As soon as winter comes, it naturally stops growing completely, and the aboveground part also shows a withered state. That is to say, Impatiens enters the hibernation period for self-protection

Light management

Impatiens likes light and is suitable for a warm environment. Whether it is potted indoors or planted in the courtyard, it is best to choose some sunny locations. In winter, don't think your Impatiens doesn't need management anymore, so it's wrong to put it in a dark place together with the flowerpot. Even in the dormant period, you should ensure sufficient light for impatiens. In this way, when winter comes over spring, Impatiens will still sprout and bloom

Moisture management

The vitality of Impatiens is very tenacious. It doesn't need too much attention from flower friends in daily management, but in winter, we should pay attention to it. Although the light is still as sufficient as other seasons, it doesn't need so much water. Because the growth of Impatiens during hibernation stagnates and the aboveground part withers completely, and only the root system needs a small amount of water, flower friends should remember not to water too much, either not at all, or a small amount of water when the soil of the flower pot is really dry

Precautions

The Impatiens growing outdoors will wither completely in winter. The seeds falling below in the next spring may germinate by themselves
