Glad I decided to give this one a second chance.  
Backstory: I bought it as an 08”. A few months later it got spider mites \& I lost a little love for it. I cut off some props \& grew it back from the start \& it’s now looking so cute in a 05” 🌱🌱🌱

I was wondering what 08” and 05” mean?

I was thinking it referred to an 8 inch and 5 inch pot size perhaps.
