how do i care for my new guinea impatien?

18 years ago

I recenlty moved to Hawaii and I am trying to grow my first garden. I have been reluctant to put my NGI in the garden because it is full sun for about 6hrs daily. I have kept my NGI in the house, it has been watered only when needed and fertilized as needed. it is drooping and i'm not sure if i should try to garden this flower or not. Here in Hawaii it stays about mid 80s and it is very humid. In my garden the soil is very thick and clay like. Any suggestions would be very helpful.

You live in a very unique part of the world. I am not sure how it will do for you. Ideally they should survive for you. Could you plant them on an eastern side of your garden. These plant come from a climate similar to yours but do like it a little cooler.

The Impatien in question died, but I bought two others and they are doing great on the east side of the garden. I've had them for two weeks now. Mahalo(thank you) for your intellect MrImpatiens and aloha(good-bye).
