I agree with Daisy. It will be happiest to grow outdoors in ideal weather of course. It loves lots of direct sun and warmth. Growing it in a container further restricts its growth potential. It is different grown outdoors and inground. It would be very interesting to see how it grows in your set-up and area Alex.

It is such a pretty cacti though, always love seeing them in their preferred habitat, dry, warm and low humidity.

Winter is typically very slow time growing for most cacti, they resume more active growth when the warm and dry conditions return. But active growth does not mean fast growth for this cacti. It still grows very slow.

I saw them before at the Getty museum gardens in Los Angeles, really pretty, this was last 30Dec2011..very, very dry and warm at that time:
