my cactus has been healthy and thriving for over a year and recently it’s arms are super floppy. am i doing something wrong or do they need supports to help hold them upright? it’s even growing a new arm right now

I wish I had answers for you! I do want to know how you got your cactus that tall without supports though! Long story short my roommate neglected her cactus (that looks like this one) and I adopted it. But the poor thing won’t stand up without a support. 😕
