This is my little greenhouse corner. I spent time making this huge macrame pot hanger and finding the perfect plants to fill it with this past weekend. I wish I had more plant lovers in my life. I’d ask them to travel all over with me looking at pretty plants in new places. ✨

My weekend routine is checking on my plants.

does anyone know what type of cacti this is? I’m sure it’s some type of euphorbia, I just got it so I don’t know anything besides that it’s definitely overwatered so this may usually be darker green?

Tumblr, I need your help.

This here is Squid. Squid Prickletits was my first cactus that I got around 5 years ago. He never seemed to grow much and as a result only needed to be repotted once, early in the first year of having him, he did develop a bit of an infection on one of his arms (Sprouts? Columns?) which was eventually cut off below the infection as at the time I'd read that was one of the best ways to save the cactus and prevent spread. The cut stump shriveled and dried out, it shrunk and is essentially gone now. After that he never showed any signs of being alive, he didn't grow, or flower or thrive and I assumed about 3 and a half years ago that he was dead. I didn't know for sure though so I kept watering him alongside my other cacti in the vague hope that I was wrong.

A few months back I moved him to a new spot in the house where he'd get much more sun and he quickly became apparent that Squid was very much still alive and he doubled in size nearly. But something, a little sprout shot up from the soil and started growing leaves. Curious as to what the heck this thing was, I left it to do its thing and develop some more. It's now also thriving in the same soil as Squid.

Can anyone ID what the baby plant is? And maybe give me advice on what to do about it? I want to keep both but I don't want to risk leaving too long that separating them would be an issue or leaving it too long that one strangles the other.

I'm also wondering if it's a flower stalk? If so, why is it on the opposite end of the pot?
