# I’ve had this cactus for a few months and it’s about doubled in size…

_Posted by Titania on 2024-10-23_

I’ve had this cactus for a few months and it’s about doubled in size since I brought it home! I found that the roots are starting to grow out the bottom of the nursery pot, I’m wondering if I should repot it now or wait until spring?

I’ve always heard if roots are growing out of the bottom you definitely wanna repot.

What are you’d doing?? Mine hasn’t changed at all!

I keep mine in a south facing window and water every 2-3 weeks. I do add this fertilizer to the water every couple waterings

Looks like we’ll be getting some super kabuto! 😂

Where did you get it she’s so pretty?!

I saw it in a grocery store one day! I’d never seen one in person so I quickly bought it and brought it home ☺️  
I haven’t seen one there since so I may have been lucky.  
I have ordered plants from online stores like Rooted before so they may have one!
