Since all its varieties are light-loving plants, they need to be provided with good lighting. Balsam should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Window sills on the western and eastern sides are ideal for this flower.
In summer, plants can be placed outside in a shaded place. It is practiced to plant a flower in open ground in the summer, but not earlier than mid-June. It is better to choose a shaded area for planting.
Since balsam does not have a dormant period, it needs additional artificial lighting in winter. If you provide it with proper care at this time of year, you can achieve flowering. Impatiens tolerate heat well, so it grows well at 20-25 degrees and above. In winter, the plant needs a lower temperature, but not lower than 12 degrees. Proper and timely care of balsam is important here.
