watering
Watering Frequency: New Guinea Impatiens need to be watered frequently and evenly, so keep the soil lightly moist at all times. It’s best to water the plants in the morning and avoid overwatering. Watering Amount: Generally, you should provide New Guinea impatiens with about 1-2 inches of water each week, either through rainfall or irrigation. If the plants are in containers, they may need to be watered more frequently. As long as the soil doesn't become waterlogged, the plants should be fine.
sunlight
New Guinea Impatiens (Impatiens Sunpatiens Series) will thrive and bloom best when grown in bright, indirect sunlight for approximately 6 to 8 hours per day. It's important to protect plants from long periods of hot, direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day, as this could burn the leaves. If grown in full sun, the plant should be monitored closely for wilting and then moved to a shadier spot. These impatiens will do best with some morning and late in the day sun but may need protection from the intense midday sun. For best performance, it is important to bear in mind that New Guinea Impatiens prefer partial-sun locations to full sun.
pruning
New Guinea impatiens can be pruned regularly with sharp garden shears in order to keep their height and density under control. They should be pruned every 4-6 weeks throughout the growing season. It is important not to prune too severely as it can cause the number of blossoms to decrease. When pruning, it is best to remove any dead or diseased stems as well as any stems that are up to half of their length. Additionally, pruning off spent blooms will encourage more flowers to grow. Pruning is a great way to maintain the shape and health of Impatiens SUNPATIENS SERIES.
