I posted about a month back about my tephrocactus growing possibly a flower, a new segment, or an alien ๐ฝ It turns out she was growing a new segment! Itโs getting really big, and is popping out cute little spikes ๐คฉ This is my first (and only) cactus and Iโve got a big soft spot for her. I brought her back with me on a plane in my purse ๐คฃ (First photo is around a month ago and second photo is from today)
hooray! thx for the update!

Where did you get her? I love weird cactus like this ๐
0๊ฐ ์ข์์ On a trip to Missouri last year, I got lucky and a local greenhouse had 4 of them. Iโve also seen them for sale online, Etsy and weirdly I think Home Depot or Loweโs.

Awesome!! I love watching them pop out new spheres. It's one of my favorite cacti I own.
์ข์์ 1๊ฐ Itโs been so fun to watch! I always stare at her whenever Iโm in my kitchen. Consequently, I take way longer to get anything done in there. ๐ How quickly does yours grow? Iโve been trying to research how fast or slow they grow; but Iโve not been having much luck finding answers.
0๊ฐ ์ข์์ I live in WA so the top growth really slowed down once winter hit. I got it as just a ball first week of July. Late July it started pushing out a second sphere and was griwing really quickly. And it hasn't progressed much. I think the lower light and heat have definitely impacted it
Aww ๐ฅฐ sheโs so cute! I live in New England, the lower light situation right now is no joke here as well. I cannot wait for spring, Iโll keep my fingers crossed ๐ค๐ป it gets to you quickly too!
์ข์์ 1๊ฐ We've been having our usual PNW "Fools Spring" in which it gets up to mid 60s and sunny and then drops back to mid 30s and pouring rain for a week lol. I've been setting up a new plant shelf, and I think this will go on it, to get some artificial life.

I took a time lapse of a flower on this cactus blooming while I was away and my dog knocked it over.
0๊ฐ ์ข์์ ๐ซฃ puppy nooo! Was the cactus okay?
0๊ฐ ์ข์์It looks like a pineapple ๐
์ข์์ 1๊ฐ Right! My husband just said that earlier this week ๐
์ข์์ 1๊ฐ
Holy smokes! That is so cool
์ข์์ 1๊ฐSo cool!

I love that itโs in a tea tin! What a great idea! I might do that!
์ข์์ 1๊ฐ The tin was too cute to throw away, and the nursery pot fit inside it; instantly cute! ๐ซ ๐ต

Amazing. Thanks for sharing
