Why does my cactus grow so tall it can't stand on its own? (lemmy.world)

I’ve had this cactus for a few years, and for a while it’s had a problem where it grows so tall that it can’t stand up. You can see in the photo that I have it tied to some stakes to keep it upright - if not for those it would literally uproot itself in under a day....

ladymethis,

You have a monkey tail cactus. For awhile they grow vertical and then once they reach a certain stage they droop down and grow downward. If you Google monkey tail cactus you can see a bunch of photos. They look very lovely in a hanging basket.

ladymethis,

I am not sure. Maybe you could gradually lower the stakes/support over time so it can adjust?

ladymethis,

I am honestly no expert on plant IDs esp house plants with many different varieties but regardless this plant obviously is a horizontal grower. Hope it’s doing well!

ladymethis,

My pixel has a setting that displays a green dot in the notification/status bar whenever an app is utilizing my camera/microphone. And I can disable that for each app that I don’t want to access my camera.
