I treat mine like an orchid.  
Water it slowly with a few day old water.  
Mines under a bright grow light so idk where you should put it for best sunlight

I have a beautiful larger one. It needs LOTs of light but not direct sun I water it every 7 days or more. I bottom water it mostly. I only used distilled water or spring water in bottles mixed with part hydrogen peroxide to prevent fungus. Make sure it’s In a good draining pot. That a must. I keep my plant in front of a window with lots of light and sun but it’s not in on the window sill. Once in a while a put a bit of coffee grounds in the soil I LOVE this plant.

Yours look beautiful!!  
Is it okay to keep it close to a window? Is it possible that the sun might cause damage to the plant ? Just curious.

you can start further away from the window and slowly move ur plant closer 4-6 inches every two weeks. pay special attention for any discolouration before moving closer. i usually put mine pretty close, monitor, and cross my fingers. the second i notice any yellowing i move it back. the long way allows the plant to build up a resistance to the bright sun and not burn.

My plant loves the sun. When the sun is at its brightest I move it over so it only gets filtered light. Mine has five babies so I think she likes the sun. But I move her as needed to avoid the hot mid day sun
