It would be worth a try, either (or both) way(s).
If you grow it inside, give it as much light as possible, and water it like you would a cactus. Thoroughly, but infrequently. I hardly ever water mine once they are established. Maybe once or twice during the hottest part of summer. I put it on a slow soak so the ground gets saturated.
Let us know which method is more successful. You could also grow them in pots outside...
