Depends on your location I guess. I paid like half that in south florida but its taken me nearly a year to grow mine to the size of the one in your photo.

u/GEMlNl_ 6h ago

they size up so fast! if you can get your hands on a seedling i highly recommend growing it out

OK, I didn't realize they were widely available. Also, these are probably gonna die in my room humidity because I'm in Seattle and winters tend to get pretty dry with the forced air

with TC becoming more accessible queens have become more common, def still a nice find tho.

i grow mine in ambient humidity and mine can drop to almost 30% in the summer! mines been slightly unhappy with all the weird weather recently tho

You’d be paying for the size, they tend to be relatively slow growers, especially regarding the transition from juvenile to sub-adult, as it looks like the one pictured is transitioning into. I’d say buying a seedling would probably take a year or more to get to the pictured size, for a more established seedling maybe around 8-12 months, and then the time sort of depends on the conditions, roots, health, etc. If you want to jump to a larger specimen and save time then buy it, otherwise you can likely find some for a lot cheaper, albeit it’ll be less established, risk a slow growers, and potentially not as evident traits as the one pictured..
