Oh my why do they do this! I hope you can remove it with little to no damage.

People buy it. Many don’t realize it’s fake. Carefully remove it. This cactus is hairy. The glue’s damage may not be too bad.

I asked once they said it’s for a handle for repotting but I’m not positive that that’s true or if they were just saying that!
