With good care, they can last for years. They have been known to grow like a small tree/shrub and I have seen them in gardens with filtered light but I prefer potted plants myself.
They need GOOD indirect light, LOTS of water during the hot months and if possible, away from sudden drops in temp.
Get rid of that fancy paper around the pot, for a start. When wet, the dyes could be leaching into the soil.
If the top of the soils seems dry, water it.
Get a spray bottle and spray the leaves often, especially in summer of hot weather.
A bit of slow release fertiliser wouldn’t go astray (I use osmocote pellets)
If you intend on repotting them, use a good quality potting mix.
They can go a bit dormant in the cooler months, so a nice well lit sunny room that’s not too cold will be ideal spot, when the time comes.
