Hey!! A friend gifted me by first cactus! Anyone able to tell me what this specific one is so I can do some research?? Any tips would be HUGELY appreciated. I’m getting used to the house plant life but cactus currently scare me so i’m glad my friend forced me to take the plunge ahaha!

I have two of these and I only water when they look a little droopy, and don’t touch the spikes lol!! They get stuck in ur skin and they’re so hard to see \& get out!! Cacti \& succulents are easy when you just listen to them, it took me a while too!! Good luck 😁
