# So I don’t know how to save this plant and can’t remember the name…

_Posted by Horne on 2025-03-19_

So I don’t know how to save this plant and can’t remember the name just got it. It’s a hanging plant please help. Have I over watered it? It’s been extremely windy here and I read that can dry them out and. Its soil was dry so have I over water it 🫣 first photo when I got it and now today it’s like this? I’ve had it 3 days now

It looks like a double flower impatiens. Some have trademarks like Rockapulco and Glimmer. Impatiens like shade or filtered sunlight. They can take morning sunlight, which is less intense, and need shade the rest of the day. I’m not sure if it’s a sun issue. It could need water.

I recommend checking the soil for moisture. Water thoroughly if top inch of the soil is dry and move it into bright shade (east sun or filtered sun) to block the intense heat and still keep the blooms. Moving it into full shade can cause leaf drop, leggy stems and less blooms. 🪴🍀

Does the pot drain?

Moved in the shade and now it’s like this

Looks like it is stressed out. Check roots and out in dappled sun

Definitely looks like too much sun
