If you mean the plant that's a cousin of Busy Lizzie -Impatiens niamniamensis - you need to look after it like Busy Lizzie, so keep it indoors on a north-facing windowsill as it doesn't like direct sun. Keep well watered but not soggy and take cuttings, which will root very easily, when it gets too big.

Not sure if you mean the Parrots Bill (Clianthus)
They are pretty tender and need to be in a very sheltered spot (maybe a west facing wall) protected from frost. Protect the roots as well if very cold weather.
No pruning needed - if getting a bit big then light trimming in summer.
