House plants are very simple to look after, for the first month over water and ensure any feed you are giving it sticks to the leaves to act as a sunscreen thus preventing it from being able to use it's Chlorophyll to produce any of the sugars the plant may need.
Then for the next 2 months afterwards transfer to a dark area of your living room and leave it alone.
You should now check that the soil is completly dry and the leaves have turned a dark orangy brown. It is at this point you transfer the plant into a dark and humid dustbin having carefully removed the pot it came in so that you can use it to grow another plant that will be doomed to a similar fate.
