Do not overwater and let them have some good indirect light. Keep them away from drafts. Whether it is from your furnace or heater or A/C
My mother grew Coleus in the house while I was a child. I never knew they grew outside until I started landscaping my own yards.Keep the in shadier areas in the house and they will do fine.
i take 3 - 4 inch cuttings and they root in glass of water on kitchen table. from there the
preferred choice of colours get potted up as house plants and go out in the garden in spring.
They are WONDERFUL for inside! They will keep in dirt fine. But clippings in water forever! Cleaning water over a few months. Your answer: you most certainly can bring them in, they do like a non direct sunlight area, but for winter, it should be just fine in the window if not real drafty.
impatients have wintered well inside for me. my garden ones were a double bloom variety, like a wee rose. the cuttings rooted well in water before being
potted up. i [ bachelor] have a table in my south facing living room and place
pots on a winter boot tray for easy clean up with vacuum.
Both my coleus and impatients are four or five years old. They are easy to over winter. Don’t over water, keep in a warm draft free place with indirect light. If your bathroom has a window and room that is a fantastic place for them. Begonias are also easy. I always cut my plants back before bringing them in. Good luck.
Should not be a problem with enough light.
Hello. I’ve done this last year and noted that several leaves might drop as plant adjusts to different lighting lighting and humidity, but it can be done.
Such glorious leaf colors and varieties it’s a shame not to try to overwinter!
Best wishes!
