Hi everyone! I have a HUGE moon cactus (I think) that is at least 25 years old and I want to maybe cut it down and make two or more plants. Does anyone have any suggestions/advice for how best to do this? Thank you so much!!

ok google lens is flagging it as possibly Brasiliopuntia? you should be able to remove any of those paddles and set them onto some soil to root

I know right? It’s definitely not a run of the mill moon cactus but I just went with that when I couldn’t find anything else 😂

I would have have thought mine was dying looking like this. I’m new to all of this though lol I hope to keep mine alive that long!!

Haha I thought it was too! But apparently that brown part is called corking and the cactus does that to help hold itself up. So cool!

the browning/woody parts is called “corking” — they do this to stabilize themselves as they get larger

KadesI was going to agree that there’s no way this thing is a moon cactus! It’s so crazy cool!! Can’t wait too see the aftermath of chopping!
