It i a terrarium plant. Fish tank or big bowl top covered will work. It shouldn't be sitting in water, it just wants hi air humidity and it actually a low light plant - east window would be better.

Good Luck

Ok, I have transplanted it to a fish bowl-like terrarium, and it still looks dreadful, but it's alive. Should I be misting it too keep the humidity up or not? Cause I've read that it should be misted but I've also heard that the leaves should not be misted as the plant can't handle standing water on the leaves....Which is it?

My guess is the plant is dry as a bone against the roots but looking moist to the eye on the top soil of the pot from the daily misting.
When you pick up the pot does it feel very light? Peat moss if not wetted prior to mixing with soil mix can repel water. If the pot feels very light set it in a bowl of tepid water 30 minutes or so and let it draw up water from the bottom. Then set it in your covered top terrarium and the moisture from the soil will make humidity if placed in a bright location. You will not need to spray mist once you get the soil thoroughly dampened.
Good luck,,,,Debbie

Also, misting is no problem as long as it isn't too cold (like 65+). Mine did great in 100% humidity, with water sitting on the leaves sometimes for days because of condensation drips. The no-wet-leaves rule probably came from thinking of african violets.

It's not really an easy plant in general, but once it gets somewhere it's happy, in a closed terrarium, it can grow pretty fast.

Thanks for all the help. I don't think it's a moisture problem cause I thoroughly mixed and dampened the soil/peat mixture until it was completely moist, but not dripping, before I put any plants in there. I think the biggest problem might have been that it was getting too much direct sun. My bowl terrarium is open so I think I might cover the open top with saran wrap to increase the humidity, cause the plant still doesnt look too happy in there.

It's been almost 2 weeks so how is the plant doing now with more humidity?,,,Debbie
