Dry areas in soil that drains well. Sunshine.
A happy cactus.

Your welcome. Many of my house plants are from countries I've traveled to but I got them all here in Canada. Very difficult to get plants home in my backpack!
Thanks Dan for the ID! Your house plant collection sounds like a collection of botanical souvenirs of your travels. Fun!
Its a Pachypodium, either geayi or lamerei. I'm leaning towards P. lamerei. I have this as a houseplant.
