No not at all. They were notoriously slow growers and I have never found out what the ideal soil, ideal watering schedule or even nutrient requirements were.
Cuttings and air layers are easy with them, they can be dead for a year (literally dry sticks) and suddenly perk up. They shoot from bare wood sometimes.
I had them in my terrarium in winter and outdoors in summer. After 5 years of trying and 3 years of neglect, I left them outside to die in winter. This just wasn't a plant for me. Since it doesn't communicate like other plants; it shows no signs at all other than limb death or fresh shoots, or both. In most plants I can find out what causes what, with these things I haven't been able to do so in roughly 8 years.
But now that I know a little more about soil dynamics, I might want to give it another try next year. I think using bark and pumice, and aiming for a low pH are the most valueable advice I can give you, since that's all I've been able to find out.
