One of the most aggressive cactii i rooted was in a clear container so the roots were visible and recieved indirect and sometimes direct sunlight during winter.

How did that fare later in the Summer with that shaping? @Kalyx no I don't think so, no sills anyway

They got a little sunburn on the first day back out, but they're acclimated now.
Because of the tendency to blow around in the wind, I repotted them all with a good amount of rock in the bottom of the pot to weigh them down. I also have a ton of prickly pear cuttings that I need to plant out in the open space behind my house.

I potted it into a normal pot before the summer, i just found it interesting to be able to see the roots of a cactus.

Harvest day, 3 years later.
128 inches, slightly more than 1.5 KG fresh (though they were a little dessicated when I harvested.
I kept three 8" cloning tips to gift to a friend. I'll probably do a giveaway or something the next time I harvest.
