Beth, what houseplants do you have that are NOT messy? My aspidistra and
sanseveria are not messy but just about everything else I grow indoors is!
I happen to especially love flowering plants indoors, and constant
grooming is the price you pay. Impatiens are not that much worse than,
say, Brunnfelsia or Abutilon. Christmas cactus is fairly tidy to grow,
come to think of it.

Don't you folks who winter over impatiens find them terribly dirty?  I
have done it successfully, but found that they dropped so many flowers,
leaves, and stems all over the floor that it wasn't worth it!
