So I have this cactus that I got in like 6th grade, no joke. It was one of those kinds that you buy at Lowes with the red thing glued on top to make it fancy.

That was nearly 8 years ago, I'm in my second year of college and I just found this thing again in my family's basement. I guess somebody's been giving it a bit of water now and then, but what the fuck. How is this thing still living and how has it gotten so crazy? What can I do for this poor plant to make it nice and healthy again?

I dunno dude, I figured I might as well look after it since it's here. I mean I don't really have the urge to have a cactus anyway.

Besides, all the cacti at my local store are still those bullshit ones with the flower thing glued to the top. Those and these ones that are like spray painted blue and purple. It's tacky and gross.

If I saw a nice little normal cactus somewhere I'd buy it.

Maby the fact that its been down there so long makes him want to save it. I know I would.

How about you just let people enjoy their own lives you dick.
>>
>>2051143
I know, right? Why don't all sixth graders buy from RESPONSIBLE cactus breeders? This is an outrage, OP, I can't believe you would support cactus mills

Stop bitching about irrelevant shit. OP just wanted a cactus, not a show line champion cactus. It's a fucking cactus.

>>2051139
I would repot it and make cuttings of each of those segments that are coming off the main plant.

It's a Hylocereus, what do you expect?

I haven't seen this before.

it looks like a scene out of American McGee's Alice.

Give the cactus some nicotine. It will get addicted though...

It could help a bit.

I love that! Where can I find that black grass? I've been wanting to make a bizzare/Alice In Wonderland style garden and that black grass would be awesome in it.

>Incredibly poor choice as a garden plant

With the idea I have in mind for a garden, everything is going to be a poor choice. But I like challenges and I like making weird shit that most people dislike at best, at hate at worst.
>>
That's honestly not that bad, could be fun come Halloween and I can set some tombstones up in the yard and some cheap jump scare zombie hands.

I still like it.
>>
>>2051724
Eh, in my opinion it's just plants and depending on what I'm doing with the garden, I don't need it to look good ALL year, just the time of year that I want to spend time in it.

thats a dragon fruit cactus, anon, and they get pretty damned big when they are allowed to.
you need more than one to pollenate the flowers and produce the fruit (like most cacti)
they're hard to tell just which kind they are without the flower and the stems can be very amorphic even within its own species
