Does anyone know how long it would take for the cactus on the left to look like the one on the right?? I bought the one on the left for $9.99! The one on the right was $206!!!! I wouldn't dare spend that much money on something I could possibly kill. Lol

I don’t blame you I wouldn’t either. I’ve never seen it look like the right side that’s weird but cool.

WOW what a strange looking cactus 🌵 What’s the name of the furry one

#### MummaDeb replied on 2025-11-07

They're both the same plant just younger. Pretty sure it's a Cephalocereus senilis.

Sorry. Wrong name.

The little one that I bought on the left is already starting to get hair coming out on the top.
