Keep it warm, love it, water it, fertilize with a well diluted fertilizer for house plants, make sure the drainage is good so it won't rot. Give it some indirect light.
I believe they can be started from a leaf or stem cutting.
Congratulations to the new mother. Norma
Congrats Brommom,
From my experience, I have found it best to leave the baby in the same conditions that it rooted until it has a good root system established - I have lost quite a few babies :( by trying to repot too soon. Like Norma said, watch out for rot - make sure it has good drainage and fresh air circulation.
