Drat, I fried my New Guinea impatiens?

Question

I bought a big potted NGI and forgot to put it in the shade. It sat on my driveway for a day in 90 degree sunshine. Is there a good way to perk it back up again? It's inside in a cool dark hallway today. I have some Jerry Baker Books, if you can name any of his potions that would help. I hadn't decided whether to keep it in the pot or plant it in my shade bed.

It's still green, just very wilted.

Answer 1

It should recover, as long as it's kept in the shade and kept well-hydrated.
You'll probably have to pick off a bit of the fried foliage is all. But go ahead and place it outside, in the shade of course :) (bring it in at night 'til your last frost date has passed). The fresh air and some rain will do it good.
I would personally refrain from fertilizing it until you see some new growth coming up from the bottom. Good luck!

Answer 2

cut it down by half, feed it once, put it bright shade, and water it "everyday"............it will recover, but it might take a few days or so! one day in the sun won't kill it so it'll be fine!
