How to Care for the Plant
Water
It's all about getting the balance right when it comes to watering your Calceolaria. Overwatering can play havoc with the plant's roots, but it'll suffer from serious wilting and petal drop if it's left to get too dry. Generously water the plant when the top layer of potting mix is dry to the touch. Make sure you water directly into the medium.
Fertilizer
To maximize the length of the bloom period with Calceolaria, feeding with a weak solution of a balanced fertilizer once a week could be beneficial. With a short-lived species like this, it isn't a necessity, though.
Sunlight
Full sun to part shade.
