Only water after the soil is 100% dry. When watering, soak it completely. Then wait for it to dry again, 100%. Keep in a window, hey need bright light. But if you haven't had it in the sun before, you have to acclimate it to the light or it'll burn. But that's not as much an issue as say an alocasia.

Mine was just as small as yours only two years ago. It’s had a lot of babies and grown taller since then. Also has some tiny yellow flowers on the oldest parts. It’s one of my favorite plants. A very cute cactus 🌵
