Impatiens downy mildew is caused by a fungus-like (Oomycete) organism that causes yellowing leaves, leaf loss, and death of bedding Impatiens, commonly called busy Lizzies, during wet weather and damp conditions. Attacks outdoors are most likely in summer, but could develop in spring in greenhouses.
The plant is, however, very sensitive to water stress. The key to healthy impatiens is to keep the soil moist at all times but never soggy. Overwatering and underwatering can result in the leaves of impatiens turning yellow.
Hopefully this helps.  |

"How would someone stop an outdoor plant from getting too soggy? A little tent perhaps?
Some of my leaves are turning yellow "
You just need better drainage some stone chippings in the bottom if it's in a pot, if it's in the soil it's a little more difficult perhaps your drainage isn't great and you need to move the plant, if you tent it you will cook it and it will die most probably. |

The leftover water from cooking pasta is full of starch. 'According to many gardeners, this is great for giving houseplants a boost in energy and feeding beneficial microbes in the soil. As well as this, pasta water is claimed to contain valuable nutrients such as iron and calcium. |
