Actually that is Tree Philodendron (Philodendron bipinnatifidum) (AKA Philodendron Selloum) If grown outdoors it prefers morning sun with dappled shade the remainder of the day or dappled shade the entire day. If the temperatures drop below 15°C (60°F), it should be brought inside in winter. Inside in winter, it should be given a bright window with as much light as you can provide. If it is summer, move it further into the room for windows with hot direct sunlight or move it by a east facing window in summer.
It prefers to stay moist, does not tolerate drought conditions. You can use many mediums to grow this plants. It can be grown in traditional indoor potting mix with peat & perlite, or bark mixed with ground bark, coir husk of various size mixed with coir peat.
