I was gifted this little guy (Stanley) at work and unsure of what to do with him. I think he’s a dog tail cactus, but he looks all droopy and sad. Anything I can do to help him out? Should I trim off the droopy skinny bits and propagate? Any and all feedback would be helpful!

These are meant to droop, not be standing upright
