Tiny cactus puppy!

#PowderPuffCactus my cactus has had this very tiny pup for maybe 6-10 weeks now? It’s smaller than a pea, seemed to appear suddenly but hasn’t grown since as far as I can tell. I’m new to this sorta thing. While the tiny cactus is cute, I’m wondering what I can do to encourage it to grow bigger? Do I need to repot them both?
2ft to light, direct
4” pot with drainage

I think you’ll be good for awhile since it’s so small but yeah going up an inch wouldn’t hurt
@Brotato can you provide a pic of them both. If you do repot I would go up an inch.

To make cacti grow faster, you need to have a consistent watering schedule, allow proper air exchange, use soft water for watering. Also, fertilize your cacti during growth period and allow cacti to go dormant during cold period.
@KikiGoldblatt thanks for the reply! Here’s a pic. Like I said, it’s very tiny, but definitely wasn’t there when I bought the plant.
