Needs a lot of indirect light' and most indoor plants are killed by incorrect watering .. either too much (very common) or too little .. :)

Soil should be kept just damp, NOT wet !!!

The one indoor plant that thrives in our house is a trailing Ivy in a darkish corner of the dining room, that seems to thrive on neglect, cos it gets forgotten about. ::)

I don't buy plants anymore.., forget greenfingers, mine are defo black.  Plants tremble when they see me coming lol.  I find its kinder to leave them in the pots and see if they can find their own way out into the garden :P  House plants haven't got a hope in hell lolol.  Can't even keep those herb pots u buy from a supermarket alive more than a week!

in corner of room, not a lot of light to be honest, i think its to far gone just looking at it.  

recommendations for a nice indoor plant, or artificial one that will be tall and possibly look a bit like a small tree, ive seen a nice bonzai plant for the dining table im going to get when i get the chance to go back to ikea
