It can also tolerate a few hours of direct sunlight through window as well, but make sure you protect it from high temperatures by placing in shaded spots during hot times or water often so that roots don’t rot!

You might even see a flower or fruit on them. Water your plants 50-75% dry prior potting soil with enough room around each root ball so that they have ample space without being crowded
