It is very preferable to add some sandy clay to your pot like vermiculite and perlite. Adding some fertilizer to the pot can make the soil become full of organic matter. Then, it is highly preferable to give it partial sunshine for this plant needs only a little sunshine to live. Enough water is very useful to keep the soil in the flower pot moist and this will help this plant grow well.
