Always use distilled or rain water only and fertilize with a water soluable fertilizer on a regular basis. You will see a big difference within weeks.
This plant likes lots of indirect sunlight leave indoors Underneath a skylight or large window with blinds would be almost perfect.
Most folks tend to over water this plant. If leaves start to drop and turn yellow you are probably overwatering. Let them dry out before watering again.
