United StatesAlready growing!
This huge Queen has found herself a nice place in my bright bathroom and is already chatting with her neighbor, an epiphylum with similar arms. She's grown an inch since she arrived! Love her to pieces.

United StatesOrdered Two!
I ordered two for a small hanging plant holder that I have. They arrived healthy, happy, and at least 12 inches tall. Also, this might sound crazy to notice, but the apical meristem is as healthy as can be! This will be a showstopper once it blooms!
