Easy to care for plant, poptart5. Best of in a bright spot, some direct sun is beneficial. Let it dry out a bit before watering, especially in winter. Can also take a longer period without water, leaves will start to get more oval and smaller to show lack of water. I ususaly use minimal fertilizer in the water, but use it every time when watering.
Things to avoid: overwatering, frost and low light.
Hope that helps

It's not a fast grower so some patience will be required :)

Edited for spelling :)
