They like a lot of light and they are very prone to root rot let the soil dry out completely between each watering. I don’t recommend a self watering pot unless you do semihydroponics.

noted. do they like to be misted?

They like humidity, but you don’t need to mist

I usually mist the new leave when it is coming out
