I wiped the leaves with a wet towel-they had some sticky substance.I sprinkle them with water every morning.I know it needs sunshine and moist,but what else do I have to do?Now it's stable but for how long?

Keeping it's leaves moist might not be such a good idea, since it might impede transpiration
