Put it in a terrarium. When it dries out too much it will wilt, then add a little water to it if it is planted in the terrarium.

I have mine in a big jar in the original pot. When it wilts I remove the pot and water it thoroughly and let it drain in the sink. I also clean any algae and fallen leaves in the jar at this time. I've had it for 3 years so far.

I had a nice bushy one that grew like a weed outdoors in our humid summer weather of the south. When I moved it indoors for winter it died in a few short weeks.

Lesson learned - keep this in a terrairum.
