Place it less than 3 feet from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.

How to fertilize Pink Jacobinia
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Pink Jacobinia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Apparently the shrimp plant is very popular in the Raleigh NC area. I wanted a yellow shrimp but 2 local nurseries where sold out. I bought a pink variety. I assume it will work. #ShrimpPlant
