I had my J. h. xanthoheuff for 2 years before I lost the one pot of them.
I try to practice what I call "benign neglect" which basically means neglect them (my plants) until they need something. In other words, don't fuss too much with them. My grandmother loved plants to death. She would over water, move them 4 or 5 times in a growing season, etc and always had trouble keeping things growing OK because she fussed over them too much. I got my love of plants from her, but like to think I learned to leave them alone unless necessary from her as well.
