Hi -

I just got a really nice impatiens and it is doing well so far in my office window...however, it is just the thirstiest plant I have ever seen - practically every day I look up and it is getting a little limp again (giving my hibiscus a run for the money)!! Does anyone have any recommendations about keeping it watered? Any experience with wicks? At the rate it is going, it will totally wilt over the weekend once the weather gets a touch warmer. Appreciate any suggestions...thanks in advance!

I agree scubadoobie, it looks like its out growing its pot. Try going to 2 sizes larger! Good luck!

I agree....the sooner the better, as if these dry out too much/too often indoors they tend to become infested with spider mites!

It's a beauty, BTW!
