This is the most easy plant to maintain. Do not irrigate at all during the summer. Give water 5 or 6 times during the winter. Place it in a sunny position. If outside take care with temp. below 15-25 F (-3 to 4 c).
I have some that have survived outside for 2 years now in Denmark (zone 6a). But still i will only recommend it as a houseplant, if you live in a cold zone.
