# I just want to show off my baby because I was sure she was dying six…

_Posted by Amberrr on 2024-09-11_

I just want to show off my baby because I was sure she was dying six months ago and she is thriving!! I’ve been told it’s an orchid cactus. I received it from a family member that seriously neglected it and hoped I could save it. It’s not one of my favorite plants. This is the difference of February and August.
