If it came from a nursery, maybe put it in a plastic bag and slowly open it so the plant can adjust to your household conditions. That plant should be okay on a windowsill or under growlights.

Very easy plant to care for; low ppm water, medium light, humidity is important but if you adjust it it should be ok, and CO2 of course. Only thing I could say is don’t let it sit in water for to long. Only damp not sopping. A 50/50 mix of long fiber sphagnum moss (LFSM) and perlite works great for this.

With Ventricosa in the mix it will most likely enjoy some direct light, like morning sun. I have the same cross but its a named one "Briggsiana" I have it outside just at the edge of a roof so it gets morning sun but is shaded as it gets over head and its growing great not even a tan.
