Hi friends! 😄  
1\. Does anyone know what kind of cactus this is?  
2\. Can anyone give me some advice on how to make this cactus look nicer? It is a hot mess and I literally have no idea what to do with a cactus  
Thank you so much! 🫶🏼

You could try propagating those other stalks (letting them callous over then putting them in water to grow roots) and/or annum a small pole to try and keep the main stem upright.

Looks like…Epiphyllum oxypetalum aka queen of night

Dragon fruit cactus. It needs full sun or a grow light. The sections are thin when it’s searching for light. I recommend removing the thin sections and planting the thicker sections in the same pot.
