Any chance they will survive in zone 5b?

It is possible they will survive in that zone, but will likely not flourish.

Is it deer resistant?

I would say so! We have had no issues as of yet with any deer.

How large do they get and can you keep it trimmed to a smaller plant?

Hey there, I hope you are doing well today! All questions will be answered in the video attached & if you have any more just let me know. Thanks, John Isaac w/ Creation Cultivated

In the video it just looks like a pad and not the whole plant. Do you get a whole rooted plant?

Sorry for any confusion with this listing; I hope this clarifies everything. What you receive is a "Single Hardy Unrooted Spineless Cactus Pad Cutting" (Freshly cut day of shipping). More info on rooting the cutting below. (MY PROPIGATION/ROOTING METHOD) 1. Place the cutting on a flat surface in filtered sunlight. Choose a dry room that has constant temperatures of 60 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Leave the cutting for seven to 10 days to form callus tissue over the cut edge. 2. Mix one part perlite with one part compost to create a well-draining growing medium to plant the cactus in. Fill a container with the mixture, leaving the top 1 to 2 inches empty. Use a container with drainage holes in its bottom (Also can be planted directly into the ground if you so choose, both methods have a high success rate for me). 3. Set the cactus cutting with the callused edge resting on the soil in the center of the pot. Push one-third to one-half of the cutting into the soil mixture. Tamp the soil down around the base of the cactus until the cutting is able to stand upright on its own. 4. Water the planted cutting using a watering can until the soil is evenly moist. Place the pot in a warm room in filtered sunlight. Water the cactus when the top inch of soil begins to dry out. 5. Decrease supplemental watering to 1/4 inch of water applied every seven days once the cactus becomes established and begins to produce new growth. Follow this water regimen during the months when nighttime temperatures remain above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Give the cactus 1/4 inch of water every 14 days when nighttime temperatures drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. 6. Move the cactus to full sunlight indoors once it begins producing new growth to begin acclimating it to brighter light. Move the cactus to full sunlight outdoors after two weeks if you eventually plan to plant the cactus outdoors in the ground.
