These plants enjoy rich fertile soil. If you can maintain a slightly acidic soil this would be perfect. Also, every time the plant blooms it will need to be fertilized. Make sure to protect the plant from frost and high winds as this can make it die. Finally, it will need to be pruned to retain its shape.

The princess plant has a lovely name, but don't forget how fickle and delicate princesses can be. My recommendation is grow some other indoor plant--many are just as lovely.

The princess plant likes the moisture but not soggy conditions. It is also very difficult to keep them alive in the summer, so keep them in the shade.
