I'll toss in my tank and see if it does anything otherwise my mom gets a new houseplant

My advice would be, to plant it in a pot with plain dirt(no extra fertalizers) with a little sand in the dirt. In the spring, it should be watered 2-3 times a week. In the winter and fall, only water once every other week. It likes indirect sunshine. It should not be fertilized too often either. Mine seems to be doing good with fertilizer at the begining of each season.
