Mass canes are known to be one of the easiest plants to care for because they can tolerate a wide range of lighting condition and doesn't mind the occasional drought. They originate from the tropic and humid regions of Africa and as a houseplant they can be in any kind of light from low light/shade to indirect bright light (just keep it away from direct light).  Lighting Mass canes tolerates a little bit of shade (but it can't be 50 greys ;) but they prefer to be in a well lit spot. They do not like the direct sunlight so directly in front of a south-facing window probably isn't the best spot for this plant. Although, if you don't have floor-to-ceiling windows all over your apartment (don't worry neither do I) you shouldn't worry too much about it receiving too much light. Watering Water when the first 2-3 inches of the soil is very dry, that should be around once every 2-3 weeks. When you water, just make sure to give the plant a proper thirst quench. See our general watering guide here (coming soon). Is the Mass Cane a good fit for you? So whether this plant is for your home office or living room desktop, just keep it in any light, shade, low light or bright light (preferred). And water the plant when the first inch of the soil is dry (about every 7-10 days depending on your indoor environment).
