Did you get the green leaf or the variegated? I have been giving morning or afternoon sun and letting them dry off a little before watering, and they seem pretty happy so far. I was worried I might kill it so I propagated it and somehow, it's all over my plant space now. Anyway, I feed a very very weak solution every time I water and the plants are all smiling when they see me, but not leggy overgrowth, just right :).

All of them should take the same type of care. Hope you find yours in one of these links! They are great plants.
