What should I do? Give him support or clip at the little knuckles and plant those? Tips?

To be clear, he does this even under a grow light.

The new growth in mine is a little flopsy too and it’s baking in full sun. The older growth stiffens with time. I think it’s just part of it’s natural growth pattern.

That’s what I speculated as well. I’ll just get it some support. Thanks for answering!!!

Ahh the Pencil Cactus or Fire Stick Cactus. So cute when we buy them and then they turn into a Medusa, or an octopus with wild leggy appendages.

And to make things worse, it’s got that poisonous sap that you have to wear gloves for.

None of my cuttings ever took roots, which is fine because the thing groove back twice the size anyway. I even have to not repot it but receded in the pot because it’s so top-heavy on one side.

In the image the two red arrows are pointing to my 1 Pencil Cactus.

Yeah I love it. The milk doesn’t bother my skin at all. Hopefully it dissuaded my cat from continuing to chew it though. I’ll just leave it to be who it is. Thanks for the reply
