He had my cactus for around 5-ish months. It’s my first plant that I haven’t killed and my only plant at the moment. Is there anything concerning about it or anything that could be changed? For a brief amount of time the pricks or spins of the cactus were almost loose and if I touched it too much it would come off, but that was mainly because I forgot to water it. Any advice is helpful. Thank you!

Cactus enjoy sun and little watering! As long as you have it in a bright space and consistent temperature that doesn’t go under~65 you should be good!
