(Seed grown from the population, I should say, not wild harvested. I’m not a monster.)

(no offence to actual monsters)

I'm guessing they're protected in the wild...?

Wild harvested plants are really dicey, particularly succulents and cactus. Unless you know they were rescued from a bulldozer, it’s better not to.

Plant poaching destroys a lot of wild populations, unfortunately.

These grow FAST. And you will absolutely need all that space if it is happy there. They’re gorgeous when fully grown & happy. It will also constantly produce babies.

Somewhere in that comment there's a book. 😁

“Hardy to Zone 6” has been a most disappointing phrase for me. 😆 Good luck!
