Hello Amadeo, I just use ordinary potting soil, and mix in some pumice or perlite just to help make the soil not go too compact in its container, otherwise the roots may suffocate when soil gets too compacted in the container. Typically I keep the media on the moist side, but not too soggy wet. Important consideration is that it is a low light plant, so bright light is okay, direct sun can burn its leaves. In my area I have to keep growing it just indoors by a window, since it gets too dry outdoors here, we have poor humidity., and our winters are mild but we do get too cold for it. So it stays indoors and thrives much better. As with all my indoor houseplants, I water early in the day and not at night.
