Earlier known as Impatiens sultani, this is one of the most popular houseplants. It is sometimes classified as a flowering houseplant because it lives from one year to another, but usually becomes leggy and is replaced every year. It has flat-faced, 5-petaled flowers in colors such as pink, red, purple, orange, and white. There are many hybrids in mixed colors, some with variegated leaves.

Height: 1–2ft (30–60cm)

Spread: 15–18in (30–45cm)

Winter: 55°F (13°C); it can withstand temperatures down to 45°F (7°C) if the compost is kept slightly drier. Full sun, or direct light without full sun

Summer: 61–64°F (16–18°C). Direct light without full sun

Care: Keep compost moist, but not waterlogged. From late spring to late summer, feed every week with weak liquid fertilizer. No repotting is needed if plants are discarded each year.

Propagation: Take 3–4in (7.5–10cm) stem-tip cuttings from late spring to late summer and insert in equal parts moist peat and sharp sand. Place in 61°F (16°C). Alternatively, buy fresh plants each year.
