# Hi all, this plant was sold as a pickle plant…but it is not…

Hi all, this plant was sold as a pickle plant…but it is not (according to the photos I’ve seen online). Does anyone know what this is called? The closest thing I could find on the internet is an Eve’s needle cactus.

That’s what the app says as well but the pictures don’t quite match. Although I noticed there can be a couple different variations. I wonder if the spikes haven’t grown in or were broken off? Definitely not a pickle plant. I have one.

Drooping prickly pear maybe?

Joseph Coat Cactus or as stated above a drooping prickly pear
