Does anyone know how to get the fake flower off my cactus without harming it?

Question

@theloveofplants · Answer

Lori, how is the fake flower attached? Can you see that? It is hot glue, superglue, etc?

@theloveofplants · Answer

Hmmm….okay. Do you have any isopropyl alcohol? Take a cap full of alcohol and add the liquid to q-tips. Take the q-tip and soak the bottom of the flower where the glue is. This will slowly dissolve the glue.

As you are applying the alcohol to the glue with the q-tip you can gently wiggle the flower using a set of tweezers. Continue to repeat that process until the flower slowly lets go from the plant.

@HotBlueoatgrass - | No it will not harm the cactus. Here is a YouTube play by play. https://youtu.be/OGLCcS8zU4A?si=eBHTXXge3GiTM7kd

@theloveofplants · Answer

If you would rather not use the isopropyl alcohol, then you can use a pair of small scissors to slowly wiggle the flower off the top. Here is another YouTube video not using the alcohol. https://youtu.be/otmfQUFna2Q?si=QpNp2zQl71SBJ8is
