, Today we will quickly look into a beautiful easy to grow flowering plant called Impatiens or Balsam plant or gulmehndi plant. Its also know by various names like jewelweed, touch-me-not, snapweed, patience, busy lizzie and so on.. Its called impatiens because this plant does not have patience when it comes to reproduction and its seed pod explode on touch and spill seeds for propagation.

5. Watering requirement: The Balsam plant requires a lot of water – do daily watering is must else you plant will wilt. The more sun your impatiens flowers get, the more water it will need. Pay attention to the moisture of the plant's potting soil, and make sure that it is consistently moist. Never let impatiens dry out. But it does not mean you must allow water to stand – and hence it needs a well draining compost rich soil.
