Default Will Busy Lizzies survive indoors?

Hi I'm new to the forum and looking for some advice please. I've had
some Busy Lizzies (Impatiens) which have been outdoors all summer and
I've brought them indoors for the winter. I did this last year and took
cuttings and they all died, so i have not taken cuttings this year, will
they survive until next summer?


Nothing will live in a dark corner or if infested with teeny spider mites.
They will survive, if clean, in a sunny to partly sunny west or south
window. Cuttings root quickly in water. I rarely lose one of these plants.
