My monkey tail cactus is finally starting to look like monkey tails! How exciting! This came back with me from California last October in a carry-on bag with each arm just reaching/bending over the edge of the pot by an inch or so. š #happyplants #cactusclique #newgrowth

I'm super excited about Binx, my Monkey Tail Cactus that also came back with me from vacation in California. It has also grown a lot AND, it is developing a new arm right smack dab in the middle. It's still in the same pot it came in .. I'm a little scared to up-pot it #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #newgrowth #ultrakoreanfir

āRare Cactusā mystery Couldnāt pass up this cutie, despite my terrible track record with these nondescript āassorted succulentsā (or, more accurately, ALL succulentsā¦) and I have questions! šš»āāļø First, what exactly is this strange little thing? What do I need to know to avoid killing it as epically as I have every single cactus Iāve ever attempted? For instanceāis it ok that I ārepositionedā it when I transferred it from the 3ā starter pot into the 3.5ā ceramic one in the second pic? I immediately understood why it came so tightly packed š¬ and had a lot of problems getting them to āstand upā while growing in opposite directions, so I crossed them (which did the trick and looks cute, but for all I know they hate touching each other or something) and thought Iād better ask now while I can still reverse it if I have to! Andā¦ now what? Help me, #SucculentSquad! ššµ #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SucculentLove #GoldenTorch #CactusClique #Cactus #Cacti
