Overwintering Impatiens Indoors: High Maintenance, Low Reward

Impatiens can survive winter indoors but won't thrive. They need cool, sunny, humid conditions—hard in heated homes. Spider mites love warm, dry air.

If You Must Try

• Sunny, cool windowsill.
• High humidity (humidifier).
• Water when top ½ inch dry.
• No fertilizer; prune legginess.
• Goal: keep alive until spring return outdoors.

Consider taking cuttings instead—easier and more reliable.
