What kind of conditions do they like? I'm assuming desert-like, but
welcome your advice. Also, should I assume that they are slow-
growing?
Tx for any help.

Very well drained soil based compost with around 1/3 added sharp sand.
Put some slow release fertiliser such as growmore, and let dry out between waterings.
They need full sun and cannot tolerate frost for any length of time so it would be better to find a frost free place for them in the winter, during which time they should be left dry and unwatered to prevent rotting.
They are pretty easy to grow, just don't overwater!!! that's the main thing!
