Beginner Gardening: Help with a new plant I received as a gift, 1 by claduca

Dear all,

I have been given the plant in the attached picture as a gift. It came with its name but I didn’t keep the label unfortunately. I have never owned a plant before so I have a few questions:

- How often should I water it, and should the soil be always quite wet, or should I let it dry?

- Does it need repotting with something like little stones under the soil to help drainage?

- Does it need a pot with holes in the bottom and a saucer underneath, or can it stay in a pot without holes, like a copper one for instance?

- Lastly, what about feeding? I remember the label said feeding every two weeks with a liquid feed, but I can’t remember what kind of feed and if there is some particular kind I should purchase.

Thanks for your kind help.

Regards,
