It can be 3x that size or more in ground Penney. Maybe in a large pot also. Never makes offsets. All have to be seed grown- or tissue culture by the big nurserys.
I was told that's a Mexican Bean pot Penny. I think for soaking them. My cousin got it in Mexico,passed it to me. I can't bring myself to make a hole in the bottom..so its for decor.

It can grow quite big then Stan shame it does nt make off sets to keep one just incase but as you say the nurserys grow them so it is nt as if you could nt buy another off them.

I thought the pattern was Mexican no I would nt make a hole in it either Stan how kind of your cousin to give you such a lovely pot.

They can live for 20 years...but I would imagine when the time comes knowing it cant replace itself is depressing.
She got it in Mexico long ago Penny. They really don't bring back much considering.

A good age then Stan compared to some other plants yes it will be a shame if it dies not giving any babies .

Thats a shame Stan sound s like they take the journey for granted then.
