Growing impatiens from seed indoors #dianemummgardenvideos 
Хобби
I loved the way you came back later and showed us the end product! That really gave it a much more completed feeling. Thanks for all you do!
My Impatiens seeds are doing great. I have seedlings coming up all over my flat. They aren't ready to be transplanted into my beds yet, but so excited that they are doing well. I planted my seeds exactly the way you showed on this video and they germed within 10 days. Thanks Diane
As the years have gone by, I have gotten much wiser. But I still do 'grow impatient" from time to time ! ;-) Beautiful flowers Diane !
I was just watching your video on 22/02/2023 and you filmed this video on 22/02/2011 .. what a coincidence.. wow❤
So cool!
Getting ready to start my Impatiens from seed. Can't wait to see how they come out. This was one of my dad's favorite flowers to grow. Thanks for all you videos. Gets me in the mood to plant and grow what ever I can haha. Here in zone 7 sometimes it can be tricky to know what to grow especially with our summers here in Arkansas.
Anyway....thanks again.
This was my first year growing them ... I love the lavender ones!!! They seemed really easy to grow.... I have been gardening most of my life, but I have always focused on veggies, and when I decided to try flowers, I was glad to discover impatiens!
Wonderful!
This helped me alot im about to grow my impatiens right now! :)
have fun growing Susan..
Thanks, Diane, a very helpful video!
@TheGardenTech , thanks so much.. this fall I hopefully will contribute more to the blog..
Great channel you have here, very helpful to a new gardener such as myself. It's very late in the season but right now i've got some Mallow, Nasturtium and Gypsyweed im trying to get started. My main focus are edible's giving the direction this nation's headed in. It's been a lot of fun so far and i can't wait till i get my green house going.
Thanks Nancy!
Planted 10 seeds last year I got 3 plants, planted a few this year only got 1
I've found it easier now to grow them from cuttings but still have seeds left so I'll probably do more from seeds again. Though they are taking over the house. Came here to see how they cope outside in the winter. I'll try it, if they die off I'll just grow some more.
yes cutting is easier if you have an existing plant.. I even had issues growing them from seed they are a trickier seed to grow.. good luck tho.. :)
Very nice. Thank you!!
Thank you, Diane, for your videos
You are so welcome!
Great video! I have tried to sprout flower seeds and haven't had too much luck..except for Statice.
I will try more flowers next year. It would save alot of money vs. buying all those transplants every year!
super. thanks.
Thanks, Diane, for your rich collection of interesting videos. Do you have any thoughts on starting seeds in potting soil vs. soilless mix?
thanks for coming by.. I just don't like things unfinished.. I know sometimes hard to follow up but trying to get better at it..:)
thank you, yes they are indeed tricky seeds.. but I manage to usually get enough... some varieties germinate better than some..
I just started some Shasta Daisies and Impatiens yesterday. It is about 8-10 weeks before the last frost currently.
I will try again. Thanks for the inspiration.
You can do it!
@sarniajeff thank you, I just pick each seedling out and transplant in the next pot.. loss not much.. it usually works well if I give the seedlings time to rest out of light..
@SheepDog707 , thanks Gary, I hope this gives you some inspiration.. good luck growing , hope you record your progress and also your failures in growing we all have them.. look forward to seeing what you are working on.. have fun! ~Diane~
yes I believe so however I haven't grown them from seed.. but they are too water sensitive at seeding stage... propagation is easy root them in water... no video however.. but it works well I have done it.. no I don't sell seeds at this time.. thanks for connecting.. and so sorry this is late I miss comments sometimes..:)
I tried Impatiens seeds for the first time this year and only 5 have come up from an entire seed packet! Tricky indeed! I usually have really good success with my seeds but these just didn't work well for me. Love your videos!
@mhpgardener , nice one Bobby.. :0 ) love your humour..
I really enjoy you videos,, my plants are about 1 inch and there green and look alive but they just do not seem to being growing like expect there in medium to start seeds should I ad some fertilizer and what kind or are they just slow growers. I have no experience first year growing anything. Thanks.
Thank you for the videos. The sounds started out low, I appreciate that is got better when you actually planted. Great job!!
This is getting me in the mood for gardening!
Me too! Just got done starting a few flats of seeds. Hope they all germinate!
I'm to lazy for that. I plan on ordering mine. ^_^
Michael Miller haha I hear ya. I was gifted all heirloom seeds so we will see how it goes!
Beautiful thank you
Welcome 😊
@hawaiidoves here in my area from May outdoors till frost which can be in Sept-Oct months..
I would like to have seen how you did the transplanting from your original seeding to what you showed at the end of the video in indiviudal pots.
Hi Diane thanks for the video, very helpful. Question------ Is this the same as for doing new guinea impatients? the regular Impatients down here in Florida are not growing very well think there is something killing them....So would the same be for the new guinea kind.?? Also can you do a video on propergating Impatients that would be awesome???? Do you sell seeds? Thanks hun,,,, Matt FL
well i know many have opinions on this, the reason I do this is soilless is to cut down on diseases problems.. it does help but knowing the watering needs helps too.. potting soil in my opinion would be to heavy.. you could experiment and try aerating the soil with perlite.. to lighten it... hope that helps..:)
they can handle filtered dampled light, but shade is best, sometimes early morning sun is ok too..
Diane, Very nice looking impatiens! I have impatiens growing in our front yard in Kaneohe, hawaii. They love the constant moisture and indirect sunlight. Please go and see my You Tube video of our front yard. It's Hawaiidoves and click on to impatiens in Freddies garden.
Our impatiens, grow to almost 5 feet in height! All from seeds. Yours look like they would be a hybrid of some sort? They are very BEAUTIFUL!!!
Any info on wave petunias? Pepperman
how big do they get in 3 weeks can u tell me week 1 week 2 and week 3 plz the measures
Diane I love your videos. Can you do one on watering. I either underwater or overwater. I can't seem to get it right. Any tips or suggestions?
Vita Rider watering is one of the hardest to know when.. but I usually when growing from seed is water well in the morning , check them through the day and only water if they are feeling dry.. you can over water and cause damping off really easy, some seeds and little seedlings are more susceptible than others.. Having a good draining soil helps too.. the soil I use cuts down on disease.. it really helps.. if you are not using a mix , made for growing from seeds, it may help.. hope this helps, and I may just do a video.. thank you!
Thanks for the video. I’m going to try these. First time starting a lot of flowers indoors but I’ve been reading a lot and I am hoping for the success with what can be a more difficult seed. Did you start them on a heat mat or cover them? The seed packet says to just pay them down and not to cover them with potting mix but it looks like that worked for you. Thanks again.
yes heating mat and I light for germination..
Diane, How long do impatiens live? We had ours for about 8 months so far.
@mfpieklik what would you like to know?
@Allen2045 , good luck, they can be tricky.. I look forward to seeing how you do with them..
My impatiens have germinated & have 2 leaves & abt 2 inches tall. When do I transplant them ? Pl. help. I live in CA.
"Hi everyone is dying at the picket fence" is the first caption on this video. Made me laugh. Good video, though. Nobody died in the making of it.
funny, not sure what that was.. must of been some short of ad.. weird..
@@dianemummvideos The auto-captioning is always silly, and I must have accidentally turned it on. Anyway, I planted my impatiens after watching your video about a month ago, and they have just germinated last week. They are very tiny and fragile. Do you cover how to help them to maturity in another video?( I am slowly going through your video collection now.)
honestly it will depend on lighting, care etc.. they do grow rather fast do not keep too wet as this causes damping off issues ..
well sometimes I just don't have enough time, I know I need to do more transplanting videos, hopefully another time..
Help? I planted Wal-Mart impaitiens seeds in two different huge pots. First we put in the gravel rocks then the organic planting soil with the compost that was included in the bag of soil. The front of our home faces east. We get a lot of shade on the front porch. I moved the pots to a place on the front porch that gets sun a few hours a day. We live in Colorado. Do you think they have a chance of sprouting and growing in flowers? Or should I dump it and start over? Thanks for any gardening help.
amie a maybe, impatiens can be tricky from seed, even I have had issue, or they up yet?
Did you know that impatiens walleriana provide a generous supply of free seeds?
It's not necessary to replant impatiens in zones where they act as annuals (i.e., in zones where they die after a hard frost). At least with impatiens walleriana, the seeds that they have self-sowed before dying will grow in the following spring IF the soil bed is undisturbed. It's okay to remove the dead plant by cutting dead vegetation at the soil level.
See my clip on how to get free seeds: How to Harvest Free Impatiens Seeds: ruclips.net/video/Oaj5i6BgUPI/видео.html. If you collect seeds to plant for the following Spring, you must separate the seeds from the pod and let them dry before storing them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
would a heat mat help with these?
yes..
if you get cold temps below 50F.. they won't survive.. they like heat more than cold..
I planted my seeds at the beginning of March. They are about an inch high. When should I think about transplanting them in a bigger container?
Hi Matt, a good time to transplant is when they form their first 2 true leaves..
So I planted impatiens from seed 12 days ago and they have sprouted to 1/4 inch, after they sprout how long do I leave them under the lights I used to germinate them
+Wheels 37 once they germinate remove from heat and place under lights
I am new to starting flowers seeds indoors. Do the inpatients need to be pinched back to help them get fuller? Also, what type of fertilizer do you use?
Hi Jennifer, yes you can pinch back if need be.. Impatiens require moderate fertilization. Plants in containers should be fertilized approximately every 2 weeks with a water soluble fertilizer.. depends on your preference ..
Hi...I am in long island, its April the 20th..can I plant 'em....or should I pick a different season ?
Hi, not really familiar with your weather, maybe be better just to buy some starter plants, they love warmer weather and from seed it takes them a while to different and are not the easiest to grow from seed..
When should I start them so they are ready to plant outside. March?
HI Matt, I would always check with your zone for when is the best time to plant and start your seeds in your area.. Usually around 10 weeks before your last frost date.. So knowing your last frost date in your area really helps you know when it is a good time to start indoors
what did you mean when you said you have to give the impatiens a hair cut? Do you have a video on that?
just means to cut back so the plant becomes fuller and not stretching so much..
Hi..can all types of impatiens be planted in hanging baskets?Thank you
many can if they do not get too tall at maturity.. I have been known to cut them back if they get leggy in baskets and they come back really nice..
@@dianemummvideos thank you
Where did you get the sprayer?
should be able to find at any garden store
Where do you put them when the seeds are plated? In a window with plenty of sun?
I use shop lights in my basement.. you can try a window as well..
do you know what is the best time of the year to grow them outside? thanks
+Clare B impatiens need warm soil so when your outdoor soil/ temp is at least 65-70 consistently
+Diane Mumm Garden Videos so prob in the summer is best to plant them? :-) is it true you need warm water to water them? thanks
Clare Mc l
What kind of soil are you using?
I have always used a soil-less soil amzn.to/3UmC3Uj
In how much time does it start flowering after seeding?
this will depend on your climate
Hi...ive been trying to grow impatienc from seeds..its been 11 days now and nothing sprouted...what would you recommend plz?Thanks
they are difficult from seed.. are you offering them light while germination? give the more time
Thank you
What size seed pot
Use smaller pots or trays when seeding I always say use what you have... this video was from several years ago I hope I had enough info for you to know how to get started with impatiens...
I planted impatients seeds 20days ago and they're still not germinating! They are in a flat with a transparent plastic cover on them, I make sure they are always damp. The seeds are fresh seeds from a new packet. They are in my bedroom on the southwest facing windowsill. The room is 18ºC. Is there anything I've done wrong? Or am I being impatient?
+TheTrueabundance Impatients can be tricky to germinate.. sounds like you are doing everything right.. I think some should of germinated by now.. did you barely cover the seed? I have only had some success with the seeds.. germinated is always unpredictable.. sometimes easier just to buy already started plants..
Diane Mumm Garden Videos
no, still nothing, and yes, I barely covered the seed with just a spinkling of earth. And the top of the growing medium is going green in parts. Maybe I should just throw them out and start again?
I just sowed mine yesterday. I didn't cover them with soil. The tray is under grow lights and on top of a heat mat. All of the petunias I sowed a couple of weeks ago germinated, so I am hoping the impatiens will too. The impatiens seeds were easier to handle, which made sowing easier.
How deep is the soil?
around 2 inches or so
lol so funny they're called impatiens... loosing my patience with impatiens!!
yes I have lost my patience with a few impatiens..;)
lol!
You did not explain lighting or how . Not helpful
