Is it normal for queen of the nights to grow their leaves this thin do they normally start thickening out or am I missing something to help their growth?  
I bought this at Walmart this past fall just before winter and it had a tag that read fern and was marked to five dollars. ( I knew it was a cactus and had to take it home ). All the long thick leaves are original all the new thinner growth is since it has been here since I believe the end of October.
