# Show me your dog tail, cactus and how you style it. I’m having a hard…

Show me your dog tail, cactus and how you style it. I’m having a hard time getting a great photo for you to get the full effect, but this one just doesn’t seem to be living its best life. If you zoom in it has tons of aerial roots. When I looked online, none of the more mature ones have these aerial roots, but everything says they are normal and that in nature they actually climb around trees. Should I try to change it to a climber rather than hanger?

Your plant looks really good.  
I don’t know why it has so many aerial roots.  
Is it getting enough sun and water?

Mine has a few but they’re hard to see because they blend in with its spines.
