They prefer very well drained soil, but will tolerate poor soil and rocky or sandy somewhat acidic to rich soil. Mulching will suppress weeds and encourage rooting along the stems. Depending on the weather, water every 4-7 days during the first summer after planting; once established you can go on once a month watering. Goodluck.

Try finding one that is not too large. Maybe you can get enough soil. You may need the soil to be moist so that it's not a dry ball cracking apart. What area are you in?
