Don I grew it like my other succulents that I grow in pots. It lasted one winter but the second winter it died. It is like some of the succulents that I grow do not like my treatment which is cool and dry only water once or twice all winter. This one needed water the winter it died I only watered it once. Family got in the way and I did not care for the plants.

If you want to keep it over the winter inside place it in a cool room under 70 and water it only when it is bone dry. In my sun room that is about every 2 months. The year I killed it I did not give it any water all winter. Most of my succulents do fine but this one did not like not getting any water. My sun room as you know is not sunny because we in Pa are mostly cloudy all winter. I grow hundreds of succulents inside in the winter and I do not use grow lights. I find as long as they are cool and mostly dry there is no problem.
