I have an old lady cactus with an artificial flower hot glued on topā¦ I wanted to remove it a while ago, because itās inhibiting the growth, but all I could find online was using a heat fun to melt the glue? Iām afraid of singing the fuzz on my cactus. So, Iāve been ignoring the problem but I really need to do something! What should I do?? š©
Hairdryer might soften it enough to get under the flower with tweezers and separate without damaging the plant.

I twisted gently side to side and wiggled till the flower came off like a tooth almost. Then I used tweezers to carefully pluck the excess glue away. It didnāt harm my cactus at all.

Run hot water over the top of it to loosen the glue. Make sure the water doesnt get into the roots. Gently twist it off and try to prevent as much damage as possible. It already looks like the plant is growing it off so it should be pretty easy.
