I've been having trouble with impatience indoors, they all died on me (I had Jungle gold, cockatoo, and fusion glow). They all started wilting so I read up on lighting. Alot of sources say to move them in shade, so I did and they wilted even more. I got frustrated and just potted the jungle gold and fusion glow outside, and they've started to grow small leaves. As for the cockatoo, I left it unpotted and was going to throw it out but lo and behold, new growth started coming up.

Is it because of the type of soil I used? Perhaps my soil from before was too heavy?
