For more detailed succulent care information, we recommend checking out the FAQ articles linked below. But for some quick and dirty tips, here's what you need to know:

Transplant into a container with a drainage hole
Use a gritty, well-draining soil (garden centers carry bags of cactus & succulent soil which you could use as-is, but would ideally mix with an equal volume of pumice, perlite, or coarse sand)
Place on a window sill with 5+ hours of sun (it can even gradually acclimate to outdoor sun, if minimum temps stay above ~40F)
Drench deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, but only when the soil is completely dry and the leaves start to feel a little more flexible (frequency will vary based on environmental conditions and season)
