Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.
I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.
Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

Impatiens Balsamina, also known as garden balsam or rose balsam, is an annual flowering plant native to India and Myanmar. It features thick, soft stems with spirally arranged leaves and produces an abundance of vibrant flowers in colors ranging from red, pink, mauve, lilac, purple to white. This fast-growing plant completes its life cycle in one season but rewards gardeners with continuous blooms throughout the summer season. The plant gets its scientific name 'Impatiens' from its unique seed dispersal mechanism, where seeds are explosively thrown away from the parent plant.
Impatiens Balsamina thrives in bright to partial sunlight. For optimal growth and abundant flowering, ensure the plant receives at least 4-5 hours of direct sunlight daily. It performs best as an outdoor plant and should be placed in areas that receive good bright light, such as garden beds, borders, containers, or bright balconies. While it loves sunlight, it can also tolerate some partial shade, making it versatile for different garden locations.
Water Impatiens Balsamina consistently to maintain moist soil, but avoid overwatering. Allow the topsoil to almost dry out before watering again. The plant prefers well-draining, moist soil. An ideal soil mix would include garden soil, cocopeat, vermicompost, and neem khali for optimal growth. Regular watering is crucial during the growing season, especially in hot weather, to keep the plant healthy and encourage continuous flowering.
To maintain good plant and flower growth, feed your Impatiens Balsamina with nitrogen and phosphorus-rich fertilizers. You can add dry banana peels as a natural source of nitrogen or use vericompost every two weeks. Regular pruning helps encourage more flower growth and keeps the plant bushy and attractive. Deadheading spent blooms will also promote continuous flowering throughout the season.
