My cactus has been helped! Lol The fake flower that was hot glued on has been removed. Sadly, my cactus didn’t come out unscathed- when I got the flower glue to loosen enough, it ripped out a few spines along with it, plus some small bits of glue are still wedged in there, but this will probably come off with time. Stores really need to stop doing this. Cacti already have beautiful flowers, there’s no need to falsely advertise something that’s already amazing. For anyone else who has this trouble: Get some rubbing alcohol and get it on the glue to dissolve it (turn your cactus towards the ground so the alcohol doesn’t get into the roots) Run it under some HOT water. Warm water didn’t work. Also try not to get the water into its roots Wiggle it around, if it doesn’t come off just yet, rinse and repeat until it does!
