Anyone else growing I. balsamina?

10 years ago

Thought I'd make a new thread. Though some people may consider them weed, I always like Impatiens balsamina as they seem so cheerful and easy to grow.

This is my first time intentionally growing them (in small pot/s due to space constraint, let's see how they do). Anyone else growing them, please feel free to share here.

Below is my pot today, nearly 3 weeks after sowing seeds.

Update: a lot more seedlings growing, still more seeds germinating (put a lot of seeds/too many really, in that small pot). They're still lanky, it's been raining heavily the last few weeks.

Oh, dear, got casualties, some survives though. Left them for a week without additional water, my bad, only watered just before leaving. Think I'll try wicking next time.

Starting more seeds in another pot (2 inch) today, hope they will grow.
