Did you planted your jewelweed in full sun or partial shade location?
Did you planted your jewelweed in rich, organic soil that retains water well?
Do you live in a region with a cold climate and frosty winters?
Are you making sure that the soil is kept consistently and evenly moist?
Do you feed your jewelweed frequently?
Do you remove jewelweed's seed pods before they explode to control the spread of the plant?
The jewelweed should be planted in a location that's exposed to either full sun or partial shade. These plants can tolerate more sun when planted in climates with cooler summers.
The jewelweed plant requires a rich, organic soil that remains moist. If the soil lacks organic matter when planting, you can dig in a thick layer of compost (or even rotted manure) before planting.
The jewelweed plant is very vulnerable to frost at any stage of its growth, and it will die when exposed to extremely cold temperatures.
The natural habitats of this plant are moist areas, such as woodland edges and marshes, so they will naturally require more frequent watering. The jewelweed will wither if the soil becomes too dry for a prolonged amount of time. Though the jewelweed can survive even in waterlogged soil, you'll want to aim to keep the soil evenly moist, and applying a thick mulch can help.
The jewelweed plant doesn't necessarily require fertilizer when planted in rich soil, but you can incorporate compost in summer if your plants aren’t growing well.
Good job! You are taking good care of your jewelweed.
Though it can be difficult to prevent this plant from propagating on its own (via its explosive seed pods), pruning the plant before the process occurs and removing its seed pods can help control the spread of the plant in your garden.

Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
