Can anyone tell me what I should do for my cactus? She’s 4 years old and no longer stays up right. I’ve tried many things. Any ideas? Should I chop to allow the babies to grow?

That looks like a cactus from the mammillaria family. It is very common for them to lay down and crawl once they get to top heavy. So you can either give it a support to stand with or to lay on or you could repot it into a bigger pot so it can naturally lay on the potting medium. It’s also very common for them to sprout baby runners once mature enough so you can either leave them and they will be fine or separate them and get more cacti.

Looks like the cactus that lays down. Dave\_opuntiaface posted about his earlier this year. He is a cactus expert. Search for his post 🪴🍀
