Yes, slow and no, they typically don’t get much bigger than your plant in the wild. Feed and water your plant well (and provide gentle light) if you want it to grow beyond its “natural” size.
Here are some examples of plants in the wild. Tiny plants, not much bigger than a few centimeters tall and wide.
If you search online, you will find some examples of big, bloated plants with many branches. This is one cactus plant that really loses its beauty the bigger it’s grown. But, well, you know the saying: beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
