I was watching a thing and saw this plant in the winner's circle. So, by default, my plant is also a red ribbon winner.

Your plant looks it’s not her first time on the runway! Gorgeous !😁

Beautiful bear paw cactus. I’d been hunting for one for a few years now and finally found one at a nursery I was interviewing out. Ended up buying two more from Etsy and I really hope to get at least one of them to flower someday. Congrats on such a lovely cotyledon 😊

How was the interview?

My bear paws aren’t nice and fat like that😭 trying to work up to that

I had a really stringy one that did nothing until I left it alone - and in a sunny spot. This one was in direct window sun all year until a few days ago. They're kind of...I'm seriously still guessing.
