i have one small plant. and do not know if its male or female yet.
it is growing outdoors in a backyard in a pretty big california city.
it is about 8 inches or so tall.
i have it in a small pot with soil. i do not know what kind because a friend gave it to me like this.

i have a few questions for someone with outdoor experience.

1: how much water should i give the plant?
2:at what time of the day or night should i water my plant?
3:is shade bad for plants?
4:what kind of soil is best for outdoor pot grows?
5:do i need to give my plant any nutrients or anything other than just water?

i would appreciate any help. i will include photos of my plant. thank you
