Impatiens houseplant

Care

• Indoors: sunny windowsill.
• Water when top ¼ dry.
• No repotting—discourages flowers.
• Leggy with age? Prune stems to desired growth point. Root cuttings in water.
• White spots = blemishes, not disease.

Impatiens are shade annuals outdoors but sun-lovers indoors as houseplants.
