It likes plenty of water (planta’s suggestions seem to work) and plenty of indirect light! I’ve also had good results with fertilizing regularly with a non-chemical fertilizer (to avoid burning the roots). Fish tank water is fantastic if you have access to it

So helpful! Thank you!!

I know it typically says indirect light but I have mine in a west facing window that gets quite a bit of direct light and it’s thriving.
