What do I do?


I’ve had this cactus for 5 years, this past year it started drastically leaning to one side. I always rotate it and it has done nothing. Tried staking it and same deal. It’s also grown these two off shoots in the past couple of months. Should I repot? And if so should I be laying it down in the soil or something? Thank you!

    Maybe get a thicker heavier planter to prevent it from tipping but this is its natural growth habit, enjoy!

    Is there something interesting on the floor?

    That’s what they do. You did nothing wrong. She’s happy, you can tell by her flower crown.

    Is it floppy? I accidently froze mine outside and it did this. There was no saving it 🤕

    If its blooming, firm and looks healthy then there’s nothing to worry about.

    Is she pointed towards a doorway? Maybe she wants you to leave…

    That one grows on its side. I had one that was 4 years old that sadly died with a frost but that how it grows and it kept flowering. I saw a post somewhere where some was scared they were doing something wrong but then they saw it on display at a botanical garden and they had it on its side there

    I’m pretty sure unhappy cacti don’t make flowers

    Castrate him! The testes are babies!

    Stop giving it steroids. You’re shrinking the balls.

    Get some costumes for her. One day she can be an alligator, the next Marge Simpson sunbathing.

    Some Mammillaria (which is the genus to which your cactus belongs to) don’t grow tall and upright and instead trail along the ground in their natural habitat, not much that you can do about its growth habit for now, and regardless, judging by the fact that it’s growing compact and it’s blooming I’d guess that it’s very healthy
