Do I water my Congo Cockatoo plant from the top, or do I stand it in a dish of water? I have only just got it, and I don't want to neglect it or kill it with kindness - help please!


On plant Impatiens niamniamensis

If in doubt, water from the bottom, but only leave it standing in water for 20 minutes to avoid waterlogging. Let it drain and put it back where it lives. Do this only when the compost starts to feel dry.
