Does anyone know what kind of cactus this is? I’m thinking rat tail. I know she needs more light so she might be reaching for sunlight more than showing her true form. She’s still a baby—got her in April as an established start. Only started fertilizing her a couple of weeks ago because I didn’t have cactus fertilizer yet.

I’m seconding the monkey tail! Very similar to mine when I first got it. The more light for these guys the better!
