Lots of light, well drained soil, not too much fertilizer and water more than a cactus but let the soil dry well between waterings.

When/if you repot it, use soil for succulents and keep it in a small pot - they tend not to have more room than their roots really need. Just enough space and weight to hold them up.

They like a bit of neglect as long as they have light.
