Look at all that growth 🤩 I’ve had this buddy for about 5 years now. When I got it, it was just a little 4in alfalfa looking cactus and now she is as happy as can be! I’ve never seen this much spring growth from her before! Most are already growing their 3rd or 4th layer this spring🤗

What kind of light condition do you keep this plant in? Mine is in a low light area and it’s been growing aerial roots lately so I’m worried it’s not doing well

I have grow lights on for 12 hours on/12 off! It doesn’t get much natural light outside of the grow lights
