Water: Impatiens arguta requires a balanced watering routine; overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering causes leaf drop. In hot summers, water every 2 days, avoiding noon. In cooler weather, water every 5 days. Maintain humidity by misting, ensuring no waterlogging occurs.

Fertilize: Before sowing impatiens arguta, mix organic or slow-release fertilizer into the soil. Fertilize seedlings every two months during spring and summer with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer. For foliar feeding, rinse leaves two hours after to prevent fertilizer burn.

Pruning: Impatiens arguta thrives with vibrant flowers and lush foliage. Prune in early to late spring, removing dead stems and overgrown branches for optimal shape and bushier blooms. Regular pruning enhances air circulation and light, mitigating disease risks. Always use clean, sharp tools for effective cuts.
