I'm going to get shot for this, but for me D. scorpiodes is quite a fuss free grower, although if it goes dormant, it only comes out alive around 50% of the time. I usually water my dormant stuff like normal, but for most around 20% don't make it, depending on species.

D. scorpiodes can take our day heat unless you leave it to get blasted by direct afternoon sun. If you have problems, try growing it as a windowsil plant. It should work, even better if you have air-con at night and/or during the day. Pygmies are winter growing and I've found they can go red with just as little as an hour or two of morning sun and indirect light/light shade during the rest of the day.
