1. Control the temperature: The temperature is relatively low in winter, and it is because of the low temperature that they slowly die. It likes a warm environment. If you want it to survive the winter, you must first pay attention to temperature control. The temperature that is conducive to its growth is between 16-26 degrees. When the temperature drops to 10 degrees, move it indoors to avoid frostbite.

2. Light management: Impatiens itself likes the sun. In winter, it is best to place it in a well-lit place and let it get more sun. Sufficient light is beneficial for it to survive the winter. In addition, you should wipe the leaves frequently to keep them smooth, which can promote better photosynthesis.

Reduce the amount and frequency of watering, and do not water at will if the soil is not dry, otherwise it will be counterproductive. As long as you remember these points, the plants will slowly recover when the temperature rises next year.
