Just got a new one myself so idk much except wipe the leaves. I was shocked at how dirty the leaves were! I wipe mine every 2 weeks or so

They need TONS of light otherwise they will drop their leaves. Water when the soil is dry

Congratulations!  
Mine thrive in indirect light, but it’s leaves burn in direct sun.

I agree w Shirley! I have mine close to a window but it is like by the side of the window that doesn’t get bright light. So it’s getting good indirect light, and it’s doing great 😊 has never dropped any leaves
