Be the cactus!

Sorry for bad lighting the hps give a weird color digitally

I wanted to share my observations of this cactus and how I relate to it. I grafted this probably two months ago now. I grafted some nice genetics (a rosei cross I think) to a rootless stock. The joined cacti and now singular cactus became shriveled for a few months until I saw this growth and noticed it today

The cactus did not feel shame in shriveling up and conserving energy. It was saving its energy to tackle the world and now it’s thriving as far as I can tell

It has both new tip growth and now a pup I was not expecting from a tip

Really cool to watch these plants I am learning so much about myself through my understanding and observations of these plants. Truly fascinating!

Thanks for reading I wanted to share my observations in hopes someone can relate! I appreciate all of you!
