# I've had this Ladyfinger catus for about 4 years, and it looks like…

_Posted by VioletCrow on 2024-07-07_

I've had this Ladyfinger catus for about 4 years, and it looks like the flower is hot-glued down. This is my only cactus, and I haven't done too much research on it. Do these naturally flower? And if so, is there anything I can do to help my plant?

If the flower is plastic, I would just detach it as carefully as possible

Thanks! It feels pretty fake, so I'll try to get it off.

I had to resort to scissors to get some strongly glued down ones off my cacti. I nicked them a little but they healed and are doing fine now
