I can give you some more specifics about how I have cultivated it during the last year, in spite of the probable differences in our conditions.
For a start, I changed from indoors to outdoor growing for 90% of the time.
I tried to replicate the conditions in its habitat. I'm fortunate where I live because when temps are lower, usually we have full sun for weeks in a row. So it gets full sun all day with temps in the 20's (ºC), 70's in F, and lower than 8ºC (46 F) which is the threshold to bring it in as in the habitat temp aren't going less than this for most of the time. Indoors, during cold weather, I out it in a room that is around 12ºC (50 F).
In summer I changed from full sun all day, which is too hot and dry to bright light with full sun during late afternoon.
The watering has been daily in hot weather, by the end of the afternoon. In cold weather, no water for weeks. Only
misting the top medium to let a small amount of water to flow to the bottom. Fertilizer, only when it's actively growing.
If you have more specific questions, please ask.
