For me I just put them in nice soil, water them once a month and forget about the rest of the time. I’ve have this one plant which I’ve had for 6 years and at some points I’ve forgotten to water it for 4 months at a time but it’s doing great now and the biggest tip I can give is to put them in a sunny spot and just forget about them.
