My understanding is that these plants are long-term bloomers, close in decoration value to an orchid. I got this one already in bloom. I originally had it in an east-facing room where it received perhaps an hour of direct sunlight from a west-facing window in an adjacent room. It started to lose a lot of its blooms so I wasn't sure if this was from not enough sunlight or perhaps not enough watering. So I took it out of that darker space and put it on a west-facing window sill. There haven't been any new blooms but it seems to be doing well. I think the plant likes humidity so I am trying to keep it pretty moist.

I have also read that if you get water on the leaves and don't wipe it off, it will create brown spots that never repair. So far I seem to have kept all the water in the soil, though, admittedly I don't really take care when watering!
