I say it’s a pony tail

No joking aside. I asked the app and Google and got these results

I’ve had several plants misidentified with my tech. I’d trust the sticker on the plant. Especially if the care isn’t really different for the two possible plants.

I’ve never seen it before but I like it!

### JuicyCactussy commented on 2026-08-07

All you really need to know is the botanical name, since that is its official name. So trust the one on the container

So no one is going to mention the cutie baby photo bombing!? 😂 cute lil pupper

Looks like an etiolated mouse tail. Google lens SUCKS at identifying cacti and succulents. Really just plants in general. Planta isn't the best at identifying either. This is my baby mouse tail for reference. I would almost say rat tail because yours is thicker, but I think they have denser spines. I like to compare things on the Planet Desert website. They have really good pictures.
