I bought six New Guinea Impatien plants July 13. Two are doing well and the others are lying flat on the ground. I put them into large planters with new potting soil. They were well watered the first day and then they collapsed, so they've had a sprinkle (2 mm according to our rain gauge.) They are on the west side of the garage under an elm so it is scattered shade. They get a little more sun in the evening as the sun gets low in the sky. We back up to a park so it is quite windy at times. Do I let them lay? Cut them back? Water more? Water less?
