It's 4-5 years old. It grows in my windowsill here in Maine, USA. It was 12F out last night

Nice peristome on your truncata there zero. I wonder if it's the same as this one that I am holding...

Hey Zero, do you ever pour coke into the pitchers to make it grow faster.

It's nearing the shortest day of the year here and nightime temps are 56F/13C inside where I grow this.
my truncata grow faster as they grow larger. Once you get past that 6-8 inch size they pick up speed in growth
more piccys, you can see the 6inch pot in the background. I really need to repot this
