Re: skinny cleistocactus help please
Sorry, couldn't do text! I posted a photo of this plant 2 weeks ago. Now the ends are shrinking and I din't know why or what to do? Any suggestions welcome. Thanks

Re: skinny cleistocactus help please
That's called "etiolation", unnatural elongation caused by too little light relative to the temperature. Almost anywhere inside has too little light for a cactus, although south-facing windows are just about OK for many.
