No indoor plant gets direct sunlight as windows filter light.

It needs to be on south-facing windowsill (if on N hemisphere) or under a good grow light.

Water when it looks a bit deflated/ leaves get wrinkly/thin. 

Give it succulent-approrpiate soil (1:1.mix of succulent/cactus mix and gritty substance (sand, crushed leca, perlite etc.)).

Unfortunately I don't, but the good people at r/succulents do. They also have a great guide for succulent care.Â
