I would not have high hopes of much growth or a long lifespan, but I'm hardly an expert at dealing with variegated plants. If you think of them as a weaker, slower version of the normal then you know to provide more protection from the sun (ideally filtered and/or diffused light), water less often (maybe use more rock in the mix so the soil goes dry faster and you can water just as often), and fertilize with a lower dose. Expect a slower rate of growth. And especially be alert to changes (like browning or yellowing) which indicate some kind of potentially life-threatening stress. Low expectations are probably wise unless you grew this plant from a baby (which would take more skill than I possess).
