Balsamina is a decorative, small and herbaceous plant of medium growth, with intense foliage and flowers in red and pink shades.
Balsamine (Impatiens balsamine) is also known as balsamine, impatience or love. This plant is preferred for gardens and terraces as it is easy to grow and does not need much care, it has a characteristic multi-month flowering and makes the most of shady places. The planting of the balsamina should be done in shady places and not have direct contact with the sun’s rays. In combination with plenty of water, the balsamina blooms both on the branches and throughout its central trunk.
Plant balsam seeds in nutrient-rich soil outdoors. Press the seeds one by one into the moist soil and sprinkle some soil lightly over the pot but don’t cover them completely to let the light through. Keep the soil moist and the pot in a spot with at least 20 degrees Celsius. Make sure the pot has enough holes for the soil to drain.
Traditionally, balsam is used to treat skin diseases and also to treat burns. It has a beneficial effect on diseases of the respiratory system and against coughs. Its ingredients are used in the production of expectorants thanks to its strong smell. The juice of its leaves is considered to treat warts and snake bites.
Balsamina is considered worldwide the most commercial potted plant!!! The height of balsam plants reaches 60 cm.
In winter, the balsamine needs protection from low temperatures as below 0 degrees it will not be able to withstand. On the other hand the lack of light indoors will also harm the balsam plant so you should place it next to a window where the sun sees it.
For best results, combine it with one of our fertilizers (Use once a month after the first month of planting).
This is a simple variety of balsam seeds. You can take the seeds from the plants and plant them next year.
