What do I do?

So this is the plant the teacher bought me on the weekend:

Pretty, eh?

So here’s hoping the green thumb skips a generation and I can keep it alive for the 6 months it’s supposed to live for.

This is where you come in.

How do I take care of it? Do I leave it in the sun or is this one of those shade plants? Do I water it? Well, of course I water it, but how often? What’s it called? Do they grow in Canada?

Here’s what I know about it, to help you help me:

• It’s red and green.
• It’s supposed to live 6 months.
• It was bought in China and possibly even made in China.
