Seedlings of Impatiens glandulifera are now transplanted to a greenhouse. These seedlings are from the seeds collected from different regions along a latitudinal gradient in Europe (France, Belgium, Germnay, Sweden and Norway) and from its native habitat, India during summer 2011. The seeds were kept for stratification and after seeds started germinating, I transplanted them to a greenhouse. It took three days to finish transplantation. I was bit worried whether the seeds will germinate or not but they did. Seedlings are successfully transplanted to a greenhouse for further experiment. The plant is originally from India but it is highly problematic in Europe. So, this is one of the black listed plant in Europe.In natural environment, this plant grows aggressively along the roadsides / riverbanks. Short video captured during preparation of seed stratification and transplantation of seedlings in a greenhouse is posted below:
