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’s native range is the Northern Hemisphere.

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.

Parrot Plant requires abundant, bright, and direct light to thrive. The best placement for this plant is within one foot of a window to ensure it receives enough light. If you live in an area with more extreme weather, such as hot summers or cold winters, you may need to adjust the placement of the plant accordingly. During hot summer months, it is important to place the plant away from full sun, as this can cause the leaves to yellow or burn. During cold winter months, it is best to move the plant closer to the window to take advantage of the extra light that can help it survive. By keeping an eye on the current weather in your area, you can make sure your Congo Cockatoo is always in the right place to thrive.

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.
