Well, you see, them impatiens can get all leggy if you ain’t careful. That means their stems get too long and they look kinda sad, less leaves and all. So, what you gotta do is trim ’em back. I’d say cut about 4 to 6 inches off. That’ll help them bush out again.
Now, if you leave them alone, they’ll just sprawl all over and look a mess. I heard from a nursery that heavy pruning works wonders. It’s like giving them a haircut! They need that to stay pretty in your garden.
In the late summer, they might get leggy too, especially if they’re in deep shade. A good tip is to trim the top third of the plant. This makes ‘em bushier and helps them bloom more. Sometimes they get so tall, like them ‘Vigorous’ SunPatiens that reach up to 3 feet!
But mind you, if they get too much sun, they’ll wilt right away. So, find a nice cool shady spot for them. Keep that soil moist but not soggy like a wet sponge. You don’t want to drown ‘em, neither! If they start lookin’ sad, like yellow leaves or mushy stems, it’s probably too much water. Ain’t that something?
And don’t forget to check for other signs, like if there’s mold or a funny smell. That means you might have some fungal issues. So, keep an eye on them little guys! They just want to be happy and pretty in your garden.
So, remember, pruning, shade, and proper watering is the key to keepin’ them impatiens lookin’ their best! You take care of ‘em right, and they’ll reward you with blooms galore.
In summary, to keep your impatiens from getting leggy, trim ‘em, give ‘em shade, and water them right. It ain’t too hard once you get the hang of it!
