Don’t let them dry out between waterings but dont flood them either. Also water from below rather than on their folliage to keep down on fungus. Prune as needed when plants appear leggy and you can stick the cuttings in the yard or in pots for more plants. Try them in various locations in and around your house. They adapt to most soils and lighting but do seem to like some shade. Colder areas they will freeze back with a hard freeze but will come back the following spring.
