Sensitive plants are "sensitive". They like warm conditions, bright light, and if you water with a miracle grow type fertilizer make sure you water them enough so that at least 10-15% of the water you give them leaches all the way through the pot. In other words, soak them really really good, so that there's lots of runoff so that the fertilizer doesn't build up in the soil. Let them go dry between waterings. They really don't like being in the house all that much either. They like a lot of light and humidity.
