Impatiens morsei is found only in the mountain forests of southern China, at altitudes between 500 and 1000 meters. This species grows primarily at temperatures between 10 and 25 degrees Celsius.

This species is suitable for growing as a houseplant or as a container plant outdoors. Place this plant in a location with bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight in the morning or evening is tolerated, but try to shade the plant during the middle of the day. This plant thrives in humus-rich, airy soil that retains moisture well.
