Julia:

Try the name on the Internet.  There is a lot of plant info there.  If one
browser doesn't work try another.  They seem to have different databases.

Here is what my Time Life encyclopedia says:
J. carnea has fluffy 3-6" spikes of pink flowers.  Plants grow to 1-3 ft.
4 hours sun in winter indirect in summer.  Warm temps.  Needs humidity.
Keep soil moist.  Cut back after flowering.

Hope this helps.
