Impatiens niamniamensis aka Parrot Plant

If you're looking for a plant that offers a moderate level of challenge, Parrot Plant is a great choice to test your gardening skills.

Parrot Plant should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Parrot Plant loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Parrot Plant prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

There is no verified data on the toxicity of this plant in the records of Ploi. If any person, including yourself, a family member, or a pet, consume plant material with an uncertain toxicity level, it is advisable to seek the advice of a healthcare expert.

No extra humidity is necessary for the Parrot Plant. Absorption of water by plants is primarily done through their roots, and soil watering is the most effective method to provide humidity to your plants.

Parrot Plant’s native range is the Northern Hemisphere.
