I have one I started last year from a single leaf we found on the floor at Costco. Picked up the leaf that had been walked on and kicked aside. Carried it home in a pocket and laid on the counter for a day before putting it in the cactus soil. It now has 3 new leaves and a bud on it. I am so excited about the bud. Hoping is will bloom by Christmas. I use Liquid Cactus fertilizer on it when I water it every to weeks. It also likes the west window it sets in.
