Yes, you can root offsets from it and have normal plants. The old plant will probably be fine the way it is, make sure the soil is well pressed down so it doesn't uproot from the weight hanging off the side. Eventually it will reach the windowsill and find support. You could put it in a shallow tro...

Thank you! So I can repot her childrens, right? Everything will be normal? And how to grow her if she falls down?

Hello. In here I'll post photos of my cacti. This topic will be like personal photo blog . So there is a first photo with my own made pot:

Hello. I found this old topic. So i want to ask is it normaly? or is it sick? Becouse cacti position is in the sun but its stil bending, i dont know what to do.. ?

You need to water less often if the pot is larger, but need to water thoroughly - water should come out of the drain holes.
