Home Depot puts fake flower on Cactus
I just recently got a Domino Cactus from Home Depot, I just now saw that there is glue on my new plant, they put a fake flower on it.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove glue from a cactus without harming or scarring it.
I just feel like I am hurting it just by leaving it on, so if it doesn't hurt it by leaving it on, I would feel a lot better.

I really don’t like that they do that. My mom used isopropyl alcohol and a q tip. Dabbing and trying to get that glue off took a long time and it did leave a little mark. Within a few months it healed. The mark wasn’t because we peeled the flower but the glue and the fake flower had damaged the plant already since it’s not natural.
@LovesPLants it breaks down the bonds of hot glue. According to the internet the higher the percentage of alcohol the better but the 70% you find at Walmart will work. If it was another surface and not a plant I would’ve used a hot gun but it would damage the plant.
I agree it’s crazy to do that!plants have so much beauty on their own they don’t need anything painted or glued!
