Care guides

Watering

Impatiens Bounce Series plants require frequent watering to maintain their health and vitality. Water them deeply when the top 2-3 inches of soil is dry to the touch, but ensure that the soil is never completely dry. Be sure to pour the water at the base of the plant, taking care not to wet the foliage. Watering frequency will depend on the climate and environment, and will need to be adjusted accordingly. Typically, watering once every 2 to 3 days is recommended. When the temperatures are hot, water more often, or as often as once per day.

Sunlight

Impatiens Bounce Series is a plant species that prefers bright, indirect sunlight for best growth. Provide these plants with 6-8 hours of filtered sunlight or direct sunlight a day, ensuring that they don’t receive more than 8 hours of direct sunlight or their leaves may get scorched. Avoid placing Impatiens Bounce Series plants in direct sunlight during the brightest hours of the day, which are usually the middle of the day, and instead choose a morning or late evening period when the sunlight is mellow. If you get plenty of sunlight, you can also move the plants from 1 area to another during the day to keep them in the shade. Take care not to overwater Impatiens Bounce Series plants as they are particularly susceptible to root rot. Enjoy having these beautiful plants in your garden or home!

Pruning

For the Impatiens BOUNCE SERIES, you should prune as necessary throughout the growing season to maintain a compact, attractive shape, taking care not to over-prune. Pruning can be done anytime during the growing season after the first few blooms have emerged. Aim to remove no more than 1-third of the plant’s total height and focus on removing dead or woody stems and shaping the plant. Be sure to make clean, sharp cuts just above a node (a bump or bulge of a stem) so the plant can regenerate more quickly.
