I’ve had these two fairy castle cactus for about a year now and they don’t seem to have grown at all. Is that normal?? I have them under grow lights….. ??

    I’ve found mine to be a bit deceptive. I thought it wasn’t growing much, but when I compared it to older pictures, it had actually grown quite a bit! The other thing might be that your plant is currently focusing on growing the roots instead. I’ve heard fairy castles like to be pot bound, so yours might be working on filling the available space in the soil

    I agree with the first comment. Also, the flower on the second cactus looks fake; maybe try removing it as it could be blocking the plant from growing.

      I can’t believe those flowers might be fake !!! They really sell them that way ??? I will definitely check it out.

      Yes! I bought mine with three flowers glued to the tips — didn’t realize it for months ;)
