Any suggestions on how I can prop her up and get her straight? Maybe a central piece of wood and kind of bind her around that? And do we think she's a dragonfruit cactus? Planta seems to think so.

    this does appear to be dragonfruit. it's long and lanky like this because it's not receiving enough light. cactuses like dragonfruit are the kind of plants you want as close to the window as possible, or else they get sad. you can get one big piece of wood or a couple thick dowels, and tie up the stems with plant velcro. they should start to climb on their own after a while.

      So she's also constantly under a light because.....most of my cacti are, because I figure they're desert plants and need good constant light. Should she maybe get more hours than she does? Currently my grow light timers are set for 11 hours

      if light isn't the problem then it's looking for support. dragonfruit are actually vining cactuses! they would naturally climb up large rocks and the occasional tree. i also recommend a fan or some kind of wind stimulation to encourage the thickening of the trunk so it becomes more stable.
