Do not allow this plant to dry out and give it a lot of humidity.. I would suggest a self watering pot so it can pull its on water to keep it from drying out, also put plant on a pebble tray, get a humidifier or somewhere it can get a lot of humidity.. the bathroom would be great for this plant and give it bright indirect light.
