I have a plant!

I got the little guy on the left as a gift for my b'day from Joliane. Like I said two posts ago, I was a little apprehensive when I opened the gift...coz I killed five of my Aunt's indoor plants last year! (shhh...don't go telling Joliane now!) So anyways, I'm pleading with any botanist or amateur gardener for advice. How much water do I give my little guy? How much sunlight does it need? Yikes! It's just that a plant has life...and I don't wana kill a cute plant which is now given to me - which is now my responsibility. I'm getting fond of it too...I wake up and early in the morning I see this green guy which symbolizes life. A life which is now under my care. Farmer or not, I'm going to take good care of this plant!
