Kim Smith on Aug 03, 2014This looks like an impatiens? They can usually grow in water, so maybe some other problem. If it is growing in soil, then maybe needs drainage. If there is still a good piece, cut it and root it in a glass of water to save the plant. It will grow and bloom in winter on a windowsill.Helpful Reply

Barbara on Aug 03, 2014I believe in putting small pebbles at the bottom of my pots for drainage. I water these type of plants from the bottom of the pots by pouring water into the basin until the soil at the top is moist. I pour out the excess water from the basin & leave only a small amount so the roots have moisture. I check the soil at the top & if it feels dry, I add more water to the basin. You can fertilize the plant from the bottom, if needed. I wish you & your plant "many years of happiness/enjoyment." : )Helpful Reply

Roberta Eagleston on Aug 04, 2014I don't water my impatiens until it starts to droop. It bounces back in no time. Kim Smith, thank you, I didn't know you could keep over winter. I have tried in the past to bring them in the house to try and save them, but they always died. What is the secret?Helpful Reply

Christine on Aug 04, 2014Could be too much sun too - if it is impatiens they are a low light plant that needs a lot of water. That is, it doesn't like to dry out. But try moving it out of direct sunlight.Helpful Reply

Marie on Aug 04, 2014These are impatiens. If it was lack of water, plant would be wilted down (they wilt easily when too dry). Probably too much water in this case.Helpful Reply

April E on Aug 04, 2014rocks do not make for good drainage you need a good hole or 2 and soil also plants that are outside should never be in a sauce. the only use of a saucer is to protect funiture or floors not to catch and hold water. so yes you have a watering issue but whether to much or not cannot be told without a few questionsHelpful Reply
