pencil cactus

My plant has shown no growth since I brought it inside. I cut way back on the watering as per directions fron web. After 3 weeks of so, the newly developing leaves begin to turn brown like they are dying. Water them, they green up. I was hoping they would grow some over the winter.
I also have had no luck with cuttings taking root. I must be missing something.
