The type is on the label in the pic, euphorbia tirucalli. More commonly known as a pencil cactus.

that's not what the label says and that's not what it is. i have one of those too this is very different you has to zoom in to see the spines. the label says euphorbia taurinensis which is also now what it is lol

Hmm, well if its labeled wrong. Going off a few other pics online- could this be a pickle cactus?

#### Christina replied on 2026-04-10

Almost looks like one super elongated red dragon that needs water and full sun

This is a pickle cactus. So that’s not what that one is

Whatever it is, it looks like it’s not getting enough light and is stretching trying to find it and it curves trying to prevent itself from flopping all the way down. It’s the kind of plant that needs to be in south facing window

Selenicereus Wercklei Plant  
Or queen of the night or moonlight cactus ?? Check those pics out on Google. They have that similar square type, long pencil like cactus
