Hello! Im newbie here :). A few months ago, I got a bunny ear cactus. Some time ago, it started to fall backwards. These ears(?) are still growing and growing upwards, and i believe they look nothing like the pictures!! Plus the plant is now completely laying over the edge of the pot. I don't know what's wrong, and I don't know what to do about it. Does anybody know?

I think it’s looking for more light

#### Sami Martinez ha respondido el 2024-10-22

Thanks, I'll try to do that!

It looks like it got etoliated, which means they are looking for more light. I’d try to put in a south/southwest/west facing windowsill or getting a grow light.

Unfortunately the long pads will stay that way so if you don’t like the look you can chop them off. After adding more light she should grow more “normal”

Are they getting light?

#### Sami Martinez ha respondido el 2024-10-24

I recently moved because Planta told me It was placed too dark. But the pads kept coming out like that, so I decided to ask... it seems that it still needs more light haha
