Unfortunally I  only have unsucessful experiences with this plant. I was unable to
get mine to recover from the initional shipping shock when it first arrived.
I wish you luck,  I would try indirect / filtered sunlight with some humdity
dont transplant too soon, let it recover a bit first
if you "listen" closely you should be able to pick out what it needs
if, that makes sense...

peace and respects, hope it helps
