Light
This plant will need reasonably lightroom in order to actually grow, although it will still get by even if you pick a shadier spot, very dark places need to be avoided though. Sunlight is acceptable too, so in reality, you could position it almost anywhere in your home or office.
Feeding
Only a little feeding is required if the plant is small or exists as a single leaf. Twice a year at most. If you’ve an older plant or that single leaf is throwing out new shoots you can feed a little more. Even then though you don’t need to be doing it more than four times a year. The Sweetheart Plant is not a very heavy feeder.
