Hello everyone! This is my first post and I’m new to the forums. Was just wondering if this new growth on my cactus will fill out or if it’ll stay looking like a stick?

Ik not sure on that. I’m not an expert with cactuses. Did your other one grow and start like that?

I think it should fill out overtime since it’s still growing. But don’t quote me on that 😅

Is it mushy at all?

#### lexi replied on 2023-06-23

No it’s not mushy! None of my others have had growths like this!

Can I ask what are you doing for it to grown more babies?

#### Edward replied on 2023-06-29

Honestly I got a grow light and once it was in the proper light it was growing like crazy!!!
