My cactus isnt growing@

Hello! So I have had a cactus for about 3 years now. This cactus has been through alot as I had birds and they pecked at it constantly. I tried to prevent this as much as possible but my family members did not. Ever since then it has pretty much stayed the exact same. Please let me know if there is anything I can do as I am very sentimental to this plant. Thank you #cactus
7” pot without drainage
Last watered 4 years ago
That’s a special plant. I wish I knew anything about growing this cactus to be helpful, but have you considered a change of scenery? Sometimes that changes the way i see a plant. You may find a pot that shows off it’s form, dress it up with some new sand and stones. Treat him like an old bonsai with stories to tell
Thank you. I have given him a bigger pot, and even tried to have other plants in the same pot to see if it would give him the spirit to grow some more. Thank you for your advice! I would love to treat him to some beautiful decor
What I’ve done in the past, in my busy life was neglect my cactus and it survived but never grew . I began watering it regularly and giving it diluted plant food and it started to grow now. Have you fertilized your brain? 🧠 πŸͺ΄β€οΈπŸŒ΅
