Established plants can live months without water.

Position - Any sunny or partially shaded position in any soil or climate, indoors only in sunny positions otherwise they will lose their nice shape. Flowering will only occur in good light. Will take frosts and extreme heat.

Watering - can be watered all year round and grow fastest in the warmer months, plants will survive without water for very long periods and remain compact when dry.

Repotting - can be left to overgrow their pots or repotted at in the warmer months in almost any well drained potting mix.
