Use free-draining potting mix. I like 2 parts perlite to 1 part peat
in a clay pot. During the summer, place the plant outside in full sun.
In anything less than full sun, you will not get the most attractive
compact growth. Water and fertilize freely and do not allow the soil to
dry for any extended period. What you want is moist but not
waterlogged.

In winter, keep the plant in the brightest light possible. Stop
fertilizing, and reduce watering significantly. You can allow the soil
to dry out completely before watering again. If you keep the plant
bone dry for long periods OR overwater in cool weather, you may lose
the roots. What you want is barely moist. The plant may lose many of
its leaves in autumn or hold them until the new growth begins again in
Spring. In Spring, when day/night temperatures are above 70F/50F, put
the plant back outside.
