# Can someone help me identify this plant? The tag that I bought it…

Can someone help me identify this plant? The tag that I bought it with said dragon fruit, but it doesn’t look like that when I look at pictures but I get different answers every time I scan it!

this does look like a juvenile dragonfruit. as they get older they get less spiky. but if you want fruit out of it you'll have to separate this up. you can keep it as an ornamental if you want to though

Thank you! I love it like this, I think it’s super fun looking

I saw one like that in person. Upon close inspection, it was like 20 or more baby dragonfruits that were all grown together. When you repot, you might be able to divide it

Awesome, thanks!

I’m not familiar with dragon fruit plants, but yours looks like a dog tail cactus

That’s the other plant that the identifier kept telling me! It switched back and forth
