Okay, the discount shelf can be full of surprises and cool finds but my first and foremost tip is to check of for pests. And quarantine this plant for a couple of weeks if possible.  
Then you should clean the plant, repot it and just start caring for it. It will probably grow into a big plant soon 😀

Good to know! Thank you! How do I check for pests?

### Jbatka commented on 2023-05-22

And quarantine does that mean in a room wo any other plants or is it ok if they r a certain distance away?

Quarantine means move away from the others

Mine likes pretty bright light and water when dry. They say not to move them around too much or they start loosing leaves. Also shake it once in awhile.
