What kind of growing environment does the garden balsam (Impatiens balsamina) like?
It prefers sunny, warm and humid environmental conditions; it is not cold-hardy, tolerates shade, and fears frost. It adapts well to soil and does not need very high fertility; it grows luxuriantly in moist, well-drained soil. It dislikes drought, otherwise it will wilt and cause leaves to drop. Light and temperature: it likes light and also tolerates shade, and needs to receive at least 4 hours of scattered sunlight every day. In summer, shade it to prevent excessively high temperatures and blazing sun exposure. The suitable growing temperature is 16-26°C, and during the flowering period the ambient temperature should be kept above 10°C. In winter it should be moved into a greenhouse to prevent freezing.
