   I really would have thought they could hold themselves up, but I have no experience with this variety.😅 In any other succulent, I’d assume it’s climbing to the light, but it’s in front of a window so. 🤷‍♀️ Unless the vertical growth is from the nursery and the horizontal growth has grown at your house, then maybe it’s leaning for light. Is there a grow light or something that direction?Hopefully someone with a prickly pear will chime in.😊

   In the wild they actually start to lay down and will grow roots. You can propagate by cutting off a top piece and placing the cut end in the soil. I live in zone 6a and I have grown a huge patch in just over 3 years outside. They flower and fruit. If you want it to climb, maybe try a moss pole to encourage root growth as it goes up. I’ve never done it but now that I see yours inside, I might try it. Here is a pic of mine outside
