Stumbled upon this reel last night……was trying to figure out what kind of cacti this was to no avail! Anybody recognize it?

Well this was a tricky one indeed. My first thought was Euphorbia but then went through a rabbit hole of Huernias, Stapelia etc. based on the stems and needles. But now I’m back to Euphorbia. My best guess: E. Royleana but I’m really not sure 🤔

Yeah it’s a hard one to figure 😩 but all of the thanks for pointing me in the right direction!!

Oh you’re welcome! But I’ll check with my colleagues as well! 😃🙏

Oh we’ve been discussing this a lot but are still stuck on Euphorbia 😅 would it be possible to ask the one who did the reel? Cause now we need to know as well 😅🙏🪴

Tysm for your efforts! For some reason the person who made it won’t respond to comments asking about what it is…maybe they’re not so sure either! 😆

Back with a possible answer!! I think you were right with it being a Euphorbia, was doing some research and it looks like it is a Euphorbia Loricata! Just one without a bunch of the little leaves??
