It’s always grew up and has never flowered

### JR commented on 2026-08-03

I find it hard to get cacti to flower. I think I don’t have them in bright enough light

#### Emmyyy replied on 2026-08-03

Tbf I’ve NEVER looked after it so it’s definitely never had enough light. I’m surprised it’s even grew the smaller ones and not died 😂 I mean you can see the difference in colour and shapes 😂

### JR commented on 2026-08-03

If you don’t have naturally bright enough spot, you could get grow lights

#### Emmyyy replied on 2026-08-03

It’s only now just being looked after and been moved to more direct light and not just sat in the kitchen 😂 I’m avoiding grow lights It’s an added expense I don’t wanna deal with 😂

### JR commented on 2026-08-03

Well, maybe it will bloom for you now that it’s being looked after and in a new location 🤞🏻

I think it’s like a old man cactus that’s called

#### Emmyyy replied on 2026-08-03

After a Google I think it’s just a standard silver touch. I got it from Ikea many moons ago 😂

### Aiko commented on 2026-08-03

a plant i think

#### Emmyyy replied on 2026-08-03

My mind is blown 🤯

### Mandrakes\&More commented on 2026-08-05

After a thorough look and much research, I’d say it’s a cactus

#### Emmyyy replied on 2026-08-05

Same conclusion then. It’s 12 years old and has given off new growth so it’s gotta be doing okay and happy enough 😂

It ain’t dead that’s all I’m saying haha
