First off, what Zone are you in? Does it freeze and have lots of snow? Here are a couple general links. I am in Southern California with mild temps and for me they grow like weeds and I give lots away when I make babies from the larger plants. Mine are outside year round.
We live in NE Kansas, so can't leave this plant outside. Thanks for your suggestion though. What kind of soil mix do you use? Fertilizer? How often do you water them?
No you certainly should not leave outside. I use a locally produced cactus mix from either my favorite nursery or the Cactus Mart that I frequent. I repot every spring. I know you are supposed to fertilize them, but I never have, as they grow large and quick for me as is. Watering for me will be different as it is very hot and very dry for months on end with temps 100+. They get watred every few days during the spring and summer months. They do not like wet feet and need well draining soil. They will start to shrivel if they do not have enough water. Just stick your finger in the pot at least 2" down, if damp, check in a few days. If dry, give it a drink. See if this link helps.
I put mine outside in the summer and bring it when the temps start to drop. I only water when the leaves start to feel a bit softish. You will be able to tell the difference by firm leaves when it does not need water. As soon as mine starts to feel a bit soft I soak the whole pot for a few hours then let it drain well. It will depend on the humidity, temperature and how much light to how often you need to water.
