The plant in the picture is the mother plant with the babies hanging. They prefer a nice bright light like a west, north, or east window but will do fine in lower light conditions. A south exposure is fine too just as long as it's not a hot window. I grow these outside. I water once a week in summer and once or twice a month in winter. The plant babies are at least 3 inches.
