DESCRIPTION
The Impatiens Balsamina, commonly known as Balsam or Touch-me-not, belongs to the Balsaminaceae family and originates from South Asia and Southeast Asia. This charming plant thrives in partial to full shade, making it perfect for gardens with limited sunlight. In Singapore's tropical climate, it’s essential to water the plant 2-3 times a week, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. The Impatiens Balsamina is an easy-to-care-for plant, ideal for beginners who want to add a splash of color to their garden. However, it's important to note that this plant is mildly toxic to pets if ingested. The Balsam enjoys humid environments but dislikes being overwatered, so proper drainage is key to keeping it healthy and vibrant.
