If the soil is completely dry, then watering is needed in time. When watering, pay attention to watering evenly and thoroughly to avoid only watering the surface and causing the root system to be unable to fully absorb water.

During the growth period of Impatiens balsamina, appropriate fertilization is needed. A thin liquid fertilizer can be applied once every 15 - 20 days. When fertilizing, the liquid fertilizer can be evenly poured on the soil surface, and then an appropriate amount of water is poured to allow the fertilizer to fully penetrate into the soil. Some organic fertilizers, such as腐熟 chicken manure and cow manure, can also be added to the soil to increase the fertility of the soil. During the growth process, there may be some withered branches, diseased branches and overly long branches. Appropriate pruning can also promote the branching and flowering of Impatiens balsamina.
