Reddit's largest and most active community related to cacti.
Welcome to /r/cactus!
A community dedicated to the discussion of Cactaceae species and hybrids.
Rules:
- Please, please do not poach plants. Evidence of such results in a ban. Contact your local Fish and Wildlife service or Department of Agriculture for permits if they're available. Additionally, if a plant is growing on someone's property, consider asking the owner about it. Many people are more than willing to give away cuttings.
- Do not post about non-cacti. Deliberately posting about non-cacti will result in a warning, a temporary 60 day ban for 2x offenders, and a perma-ban for 3x offenders.
- Check the wiki and use the search before asking about care.
- No San Pedro ID requests, too often they result in poaching or stealing of cacti.
- No posts regarding the entheogenic or spiritual uses of cacti, check out /r/druggardening if you want to discuss such things.
- San Pedro growing related topics are OK, please do not report them unless they clearly violate the two rules above.
Be helpful whenever you have the chance.

Cactus ID
Hey everyone,
If I recall correctly, I was able to ID this cactus before, but I did not write it down and it was forgotten. Can anyone help me out with what kind of cactus this is? I moved it inside last night, and this picture was taken this morning.

Species?
Trying to find the exact species of cactus? I bought this years ago for 5$. Well I gave it to my mom and her cat broke two limbs off. I let them lay in the flower pot and they started to root. Google photos doesn’t exactly help. Someone has to know what this species is. Thanks in advanced. First Reddit post 😁😁

Is there hope?
It turned like this in just a few days. It's hard and dry to the touch. I've watered it regularly but with just little at a time. I'm not used to cacti so I don't know the proper care for different types :(

Leaning…what to do?
Help! I just inherited this tall cactus and I’m not even sure what it is. He has started to lean into the middle of the room (away from the light) I turned him to face the window for the photo. I have never repotted him and he’s in a 12 inch pot at the moment. Advice??? I really want to take good care of him.

Monstrose and variegated ferocactus
I've never seen a ferocactus like this and thought it looked really awesome! The white on top of the little one are healed splits from some crazy pupping going on, and some fluff from the pups.

Is my cactus sick?
This yellow spots and this hole appeared long ago, but I noticed them only now. Also, should it bloom?
