IMPATIENS SULANI
Mrs. A. M. P. of Marion, writes
Of her plant: please tell me what
is the cause of a sultana which
has many buds get to the coloring
stage then fall off before they
bloom? Then buds continue to
come but fall off again before ma
turity?"
This may be from too cry sol!
or too dry air about the plant,
or it may be from poor drainage.
The sultana want sunlight,
warmth and moisture in the air.
II wants excellent drainage, for
like all other succulents it requires
much water but none standing
about the roots. 1t needs rich soil
and when blooming profusely re-
quires r gular feeding. Given
these it is a constant bloomer.
Make sure the drainage in the

is moisture in the air from water

ways make sure the soil is moist
before putting on liquid manure Or

Is necessary for a plant that
makes such rapid growth and pro-
duces such quantities Of bloom as
the sultane.
