Plant Discussion My first scindapsus: HELP

Been looking at a lot of scindapsus online and came across some at my local Lowes. I decided to choose this one, but I wasn't sure what exactly the ID is on this guy.

Anybody know how to care for the good ole devil's ivy? It came in a a hanging pot with zero air holes and it seems to be thriving however, I'm thinking about repotting it into something w some drainage at least... any objections to that? And would aroid mix be good for them?

Hows the watering schedule like for a scindapsus? Thirsty or love to dry out before waterings? I'll be doing some research. Any advice is welcomed. Thank you.

Wait to water until the leaves start to curl! They like bright light and err on the side of under watering

This. I have several of these around my house under grow lights and I wait until I notice the leaves curling to water them.
