Yeah, I'll never eat the big one I have, it's kinda like a pet now! It's kind of a shame that they are such slow growing cacti, as it means you rarely get to trip from your stock, unless you are very dedicated to it. They are more ornamental and a trip every few years!

If it's 3cm it should be plenty hardy by now, I have just found if they are moved before they have a good root system, they will invariably die. I'm not saying it can't be done, it just hasn't worked for me!

Albert - do you give yours any special treatment after the first few weeks / months?
