Diluted foliage pro fert, diluted cal/mag with every watering for these guys. Humidity 55%+. I personally keep a 15w sansi bulb on mine from 16 inches away. Which is not necessary if yours has a window seat. These guys don’t need a TON of light. Just a few strong hours per day.
Be prepared for it to drop some leaves (this is a good thing) when it’s acclimating to your house. No repots or soil changes for 3 weeks. Keep him in timeout for now.
Congrats!

Unless it lived in a jar when you got it out it’s going to permanently live in there, you’re not actually doing anything other than making it have to acclimate twice. Just put it where it will live and let it acclimate to your environment.
