Hi guys, I bought this cactus from Home Depot last night and I was wondering if I should take the decorative flower off? Will it harm my plant’s growth to keep it? If I should remove, how should I do so without damaging the plant? It’s glued on from what I can tell
If it’s a real flower then you should leave it

0개 좋아요 If it’s fake then you most likely can remove it I don’t see any problem with that.
좋아요 1개Those are fake. Take it off
0개 좋아요 Okay thank you. I knew it was fake 😅 that’s why I was asking
0개 좋아요I have no clue why they put them on there. People should want cacti because they’re unique and different! Not cause they’re pretty flowering plants. Which they are. But I think they’re just cool!
좋아요 1개 I have always wanted a cactus because I like how they look and I also have a false holiday cactus

I had one of these on my cactus and I just gently pulled it off, it did pull a few spikes off but it didn’t harm the plant at all :)
좋아요 1개 Okay thank you so much. I’ll go ahead and try to do so once I’m home

I’m always annoyed when I see those fake flowers on cacti. Definitely take it off!
0개 좋아요 Okay I will once I get home. I have never seen one with a fake flower before but I was at Home Depot with the husband getting tools for work. I seen it and I was like “I want it,” once I got home I was trying to figure out how to take it off or if it was necessary to do so.

Not a decoration! It’s a “handling device” to save you from getting poked during repotting! But they come off easy enough with a q-tip and a touch of rubbing alcohol.
좋아요 1개 Okay thank you, do you know if it will cause any issues to my cactus? Like drowning problems or anything?
0개 좋아요 Growing not drowning 🤦🏼♀️
