Spinster the cactus: slow but sure growth ๐ŸŒต

Cactus Update ๐Ÿชด๐ŸŒต๐Ÿœ๏ธ
This is spinster my โ€˜Euphorbia Spiralisโ€™ (I think thatโ€™s the correct ID)
Like other slow growing plants of mine, I never think they are growing until I compare pictures over time. I thought maybe I wasnโ€™t caring for it correctly, or it wasnโ€™t happy. But every couple months I would notice a brighter green shade at the top of the plant. I also watered and treated her today with fungicide">#ArberBiofungicide & insecticide">#ArberBioinsecticide ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿงช
Here are the dates for the pics.
1- August 21
2- August 31
3- September 11
4- December 18 #CactusClique #Cactus #Cacti #NewGrowth #HappyPlants #GrowLights #BeforeAndAfter #PlantAddict #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Neat. I wonder ๐Ÿค” WHY these cacti ๐ŸŒต go spiral?
@UltraKoreanfir Iโ€™m not sure but there are others that spiral like this that are very cool !! I know @RJG has one that is huge !! Its name is cerebus ๐Ÿ˜… itโ€™s a stunner and very tall! You should check it out on his page,
@UltraKoreanfir also another one is the Tanzanian zipper plant
Yeah, I also have a spiraling crassula succulent, but I've never looked into WHY they do that. With trees in the wild it's normally due to winds, but I've no idea how that trait was passed down so that it's normal. So cool what nature does!
Wow @TidyTigerpear that is some impressive growth. Such an interesting plant.
