# Everyone has seen Prickly Pear Opuntia cacti right? Well has anyone…

_Publié par Vickie le 2025-03-17_

Everyone has seen Prickly Pear Opuntia cacti right? Well has anyone seen Prickly Pear Opuntia "Fat Fingers" Cactus?? She is very healthy but suddenly started growing these arms, AI said that was normal and means that she is very healthy. Could anyone tell me what those arms are and is it normal? She is under a barrina t5 full spectrum led grow light.. I included her picture when I first got her. Isn't she unique ♥️

I think they are supposed to be new heads. My initial thought is your light is too low. But you said she's under t5.. how far away?

#### Vickie ha respondido el 2025-03-17

She is now 6 inches away from the lights.

Was she when she developed the arms?

#### Vickie ha respondido el 2025-03-17

Yes, she just went crazy, sprouting those all around.😁
