I had one for many years. You can just wrap the messy ball with coconut fiber and hang the whole thing up with/on a chain. in no time flat you have a huge green ball with those long hanging fronds. In Winter mine hung in a corner in the house, Summer outside in a tree. it needs plenty of water!
Mine got so huge, I took a cutting with a saw, gave the mother plant away. That cutting looked like this a couple of years later. I gave it to a local flower shop. Here is the fellow carrying it to the car.
What I am trying to say is that they are very forgiving and somewhat indestructible, as long as they get watered enough.
Enjoy your plant!
