It's amazing this plant is doing so well considering where it came from. It was a wedding shower present from G's cousin three years ago. It had been thriving with a ton of flowers, and all of a sudden, it died. I think that was a side effect of "the great freeze" during our honeymoon.
The heat quit working during the coldest days of the year and almost all of my plants died. All that was left unfrozen were two leaf sections. The vibrant green made me keep them, also considering the fact that cacti are succulents and can be propagated. I tossed them in a box of soil with other experiments and promptly forgot about it.
A few months later, the chunk was still green. A few months after that, the chunk had a few roots. I repotted it into a small pot. It grew more leaves! Now it's triple the size of the original two salvaged leaves. One of the original leaves shriveled up and the second original is beginning to die off.
