HI Tina,

Pot size is 54cm and it's a Plasticotto full depth, robust pot.

It is in the swimming pool area so grows in a moist atmosphere the whole year round without extra heat unless it is very cold. As for standing it outside - you try shifting it!

Regards, Suzanne

I took a smaller one, it was a small seedling in 2003, now has a 45-50 cm wide caudex.

I was exaggerating a bit... I have measured it yesterday - the caudex is only 41 cm in diameter. This picture was taken in December 2017.

Cheers,

February 2020 - the caudex is now 45 cm wide, but in a quite dry summer. I changed position to accommodate a fast growing Opuntia.
