I am not a plant person either. Could start by adding some water :)

I think this plant goes into a hibernation and should be stored in the dark and supposedly, it will come back next year...I used to buy them too and never could figure out how to care for it! Good luck to you...maybe you could get another plant that is easier to care for like a spider plant or something....

We have had moderate luck with them. My MIL had good luck with one. She just planted it outside in front of her house. It had a southern exposure, and was shielded from the prevailing north winds. I also think they like cold.

But I'd go with some google research to help out!
