Bright indirect light (4-6 hours per day) is important, however direct sunlight will scorch the plant. The soil should not be allowed to become completely dry, keeping in mind that they will rot if exposed to soggy soil. Only water when the top few inches of soil has dried. These will not survive freezing temperatures and do best when kept above 50 degrees.
