Here are general guidelines on how to plant and care for a Song of India plant:

Planting:
Select a Suitable Pot: Choose a well draining pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. The size of the pot should accommodate the current size of the plant with some room for growth.

Potting Mix: 
Use a well draining potting mix that is rich in organic matter. You can also add perlite or sand to improve drainage.

Positioning:
Place the plant in a location with bright, indirect sunlight. While it can tolerate some shade, it generally prefers well lit areas.

Temperature:
Keep the plant in a warm environment. It thrives in temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C).

Watering:
Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's essential not to let the soil stay constantly soggy.

Humidity:
Maintain moderate to high humidity levels. Misting the plant or placing a tray of water near it can help increase humidity.

Fertilization: 
Feed the Song of India plant with a balanced, water soluble fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) every 4-6 weeks. Reduce or stop fertilizing in the fall and winter when growth slows down.

Pruning: 
Prune the plant to control its size and shape. Trim yellow or damaged leaves regularly and remove any excessive growth to maintain a desirable appearance.

Repotting: 
Repot the plant when it outgrows its current container, typically every 2-3 years. Refresh the potting mix and inspect the roots during repotting.

Pests and Diseases: 
Keep an eye out for pests such as spider mites and scale. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Remember that specific care requirements can vary based on the specific conditions of your home and the climate in your region. Adjust your care routine accordingly and monitor the plant's health regularly.
