Impatiens repens

Impatiens repens is a fast growing species of uncommon Impatiens native to Sri Lanka in SE Asia. It has bright green, round leaves and sprawls beautifully and hangs down in terrariums. It is a truly stunning addition to your background trailing plants. It does well in bright, indirect light and high humidity. Moist soil and sphagnum moss are helpful for rooting this species. This vine can be tough to keep up with, so prune it appropriately.

All of our cuttings have adventitious, aerial roots. Our rooted specimens will have at least a few active roots and will be established plants. Our plants are grown in high humidity in terrariums and greenhouses, therefore may need acclimation to the average home humidity / environment. Please contact us for acclimation information if you are not planning to use this plant in a terrarium, greenhouse, or humid room.
