Can anyone identify this cute little guy? I got him as a gift and was told he is a dragon fruit cactus but the app is bringing up other options… I just want to be sure so I can give him the best care so any tips are appreciated too!! 😊

It’s a dog tail cactus Strophocactus testudo

#### Audrey antwortete am 2024-01-24

Well that was the other option that I was questioning…

This is the base of the plant. I think this helps. From what I’ve noticed dog tails don’t have the two leaves at the bottom of the “stem” making me think it is a dragon fruit cactus?
