Place your plant in a bright spot with indirect sunlight, such as a windowsill or near a light source.

If the leaves start to droop, your plant needs more water.
Do not overwater as this can cause root rot.
Feed your plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season.
Trim off any dead leaves or stems as needed.
Repot your plant every year or two to ensure it has enough room to grow.
