Humidity and no direct sunlight, ours is on the bathroom windowsill, we have 4 of them, the steam from the morning shower sets them up for the day, . . leave them alone and water them sparingly with warm water and they do great, we've had that one in the photo 10 years now.
PS: the pot they're in sits on a bed of gravel (you can use glass marbles) inside a larger clear glass vase, this lets any excess water drain away from the roots and also gives them humidity from the water below the gravel as it evaporates.
