Pachystachys Lutea (commonly known as Shrimp Plant) is a native of Mexico and is normally grown as a centerpiece in a combination pot or as a background plant in mixed beds.

- Light: Provide bright indoor light, but not full midday sun. They are perfect for atriums or other areas that are flooded with bright, natural light.
- Water: They need plenty of water in the summer months. They should never be allowed to dry out. Dry plants are more prone to leaf drop. In the winter months, assuming you plan to keep it that long, cut the water back and do not let the temperatures get below 55 F.
- Fertilizer: Feed weekly with a weak liquid fertilizer that includes micronutrients and encourages blooming. These are relatively high feeders and will respond well to amply fertilization.
- Soil: A light, fast-draining potting soil is perfect. You can use fortified soils.
