Omg flowers ?! #CactusClique #LittleNippleCactus
10ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 4 weeks ago
It’s fruit. There’s seeds inside. You could grow more babies from the seeds if you wanted. When the flowers are pollinated they will grow fruit with seeds after which is what’s happening
This is fruit from one of my cactus just two days ago. I was taking the seeds out to plant them.
If you grow the seeds you’ll need something like this setup I have to keep humidity trapped in. They need lots of humidity to survive when babies. They’re more like a tropical plant when seedlings. Once they get big you have to keep the soil dry. It’s weird how the care changes once they grow up.
Never seen cactus 🌡 fruit 🍎 before.
Fruit or flower it is super cool!!!!
How cool @ForeverNeslia Congratulations!!
@SirLiquorice @ForeverNeslia 🀯 wow! You both must be doing an amazing job of caring for your cacti to get fruit and seeds! Congrats!
Wow. Congratulations and that is amazing. The flower almost looks like a chili pepper 🌢️ to me
@Shells_Garden yeah. It looked like you took a chili and stabbed it in there. LOL
Awesome! 1 of my cacti just started getting little pink flowers
Those are fruits ! I’ve eaten one before kinda taste like star fruit
@PlantsForFun I love that description. I’ve never seen a flower or pup growing out the side of a cactus. πŸ˜‰
@Shells_Garden it kinda is like a little pepper. It’s a fruit full of seeds to grow babies. So it basically is the cacti equivalent of a chili pepper. It flowers and then gets pollinated and then grows fruit. Birds eat the fruit and then poop somewhere and grow cactus seedlings
@SirLiquorice this is so cool
@ballondusoleil I couldn’t believe it first time getting those
