I have it in a self watering ceramic pot. I just make sure the water is in contact with the bottom of the inside ceramic pot. I turn her every so often and fertilize every 4-6 weeks. Thts it. My grandmother wld have these all over her house when I was growing up. She wld start them from the leaves. They were everywhere! It was kinda cool
