Is this Normal?
Posted: Thu Jul 23, 2015 6:00 pm
Um...hello. I am very new to both this forum and owning cacti. I have a few. Two at home and one at work. The one at work was a birthday gift from a coworker and he bought me this HUGE cactus. It says its an opuntia, and while it says to plant it somewhere in the ground, I have no place to put it so it is still a pot bound cactus. Here's the thing. Recently it started growing a small green bud which has now become this. (See picture below.) It's been growing like super fast and it really doesn't look like the rest of the plant nor anything I looked up online. And I guess I just wanted to know if this is normal and if there is anything I need to do to keep the plant healthy and happy.
Thanks! I know I'm rather inexperienced so I appreciate all the help!
