I have one, got a tip about planting it in a really shallow pot and it seems to be working! They also like A LOT of light so I keep mine in a south facing window 😃

Mine does best when I leave it alone. Cactus soil, shallow terracotta pot, bottom watering, and a ton of light

Everything the others have said pretty much covers it, my one thing to add is make sure the top of the pot gets sunlight too or it’ll get really bare and sad looking. You got this!!
