Gorgeous plant. It arrived so plump that the pot's sides were bulging out, so I put it in a bigger pot immediately. But repotting was painful because its sharp spines poked me repeatedly.

I received an absolutely enormous specimen and am thrilled to have to buy a different pot for it. Also to be commended, all of the delivery was well wrapped and snugly packaged in the box for a safe and sound delivery.
