Tuesday showcase ☺️... Monkey Tail's first flower bud ❤️❤️❤️. He's about a year and a half in my care, got him as a little 2-inch monkey, now with his own offsprings.

I don't know how many times I've read "why is my cactus leaning?!?!" And it's usually this species lol. Is that a flower or a fruit? If it is fruit, take a nibble.

😂😂😂 Not sure I'm thinking flower? Let's wait and see!

Lookin’ good! Do you do anything special to keep it healthy?

#### PrettyLittleThings replied on 2025-05-14

Nothing really, just a lot of sun and water oncethe6 soil is dry, not following planta's schedule, pretty much every week now.

### Qbert commented on 2025-05-14

Thanks! I’m still cracking the code for this plant.

#### PrettyLittleThings replied on 2025-05-14

You're welcome! She's on a very gritty mix too btw, pumice and perlite.

### Qbert commented on 2025-05-14

That’s helpful, thanks! 💚  
I try to keep all my cactuses in super gritty perlite and granite soil mix. I live in a swampy hot place with rain and drought and sometimes hurricanes.

#### PrettyLittleThings replied on 2025-05-14

Oh wow, mines is the opposite. If it rains here, we celebrate 😂. Very dry. You're welcome!
