You want to make sure the soil dries out completely between waterings. Make sure the soil is airy. The thick stems hold water in, so they don’t need to be watered too frequently. They needs lots of light too.

Let them do their thing. The less you mess with it the better. Mine is almost 30 years old and all I do is make sure it’s not drowning in the pot when it rains a lot. And it’s hearty and beautiful.
