I have one that’s about 14 inches tall. Not super large. But I’m in the Houston area and I keep mine on a south facing windowsill.

It’s pushed out one large pup that I recently separated, and working on its third. It’s in a cactus soil mix.

I also use Thryve Roots Organic Root \& Soil Booster with each watering. I just add a tablespoon to a gallon of water. My plants have loved it and I’ve been using it for months now.

Mother on the left, pup on the right.
