I’m picturing how awkward it was to keep all those limbs intact.

Oh no I just recently got a little 4” one. I didn’t know it’s going to grow up and be a problem child 😂

Hate to tell you but when I got that it was in a 4” pot. It likes my front window. They grow quickly. It’s just a few years old.
