I agree with Pete. I have had one for years and it spends its life on the
floor in front of the patio doors. I think they suffer more from
overwatering than under. I water mine once a week and feed it in the
spring/summer. I usually water it from below, but sometimes I can't be
bothered and do it from the top.

BTW Don't forget to talk to it if you want it to do well :O)
