Make fun of me, I’ll laugh about it too. I’ve been watering this thing for over a year. I’m starting to suspect it’s not real. I’ve pulled up the moss and looked under. It has dirt and what looks like roots, but I have had this feeling that I’m the joke. Totally okay, I love making people laugh. I don’t want to keep watering something that’s fake.

They look like real cacti
Put them in a sunny spot and they might start growing
Remove the moss, cactuses and moss don’t go together
Well, from your pic best I can tell they look real to me. Sometimes these young cacti take a little to get going but they usually are growing roots underneath that you can’t see that they are growing. They look healthy and good color green so just keep doing what you’ve been doing. It’s like when a dog lays down he turns around in just the right spot 3 or 4 times before he plops down and falls asleep. So your cactus appear to be getting good comfortable and when the time is right they will take off.
That is a real nice arrangement you have them in and they should be just fine. (hope they have drainage holes)!
If they’re fake they’re incredibly detailed. That’s weird. If it’s real then it was set up like that to sell, not to live and thrive
Poke it with a needle? Should be a sure way of knowing.
Remove the cacti entirely from everything else there and repot them in a shallow pot with well draining cactus soil. Then do whatever you want with the bowl and other stuff.
How did you keep the moss and the cacti simultaneously alive ? Doesn’t the moss need a lot of moisture ? To top it off the pot looks like it doesn’t have drainage. What’s going on here ? 😅
I say do the sun shine test
Fake cacti spines are safe to touch. If those make you bleed they are real. 🙂
Yeah, I know some cacti don’t grow as much, I bought this mammillaria from my local Walmart, and the only reason I know it’s grown a bit is because when I bought it it had thee dried up flower bugs on it, and I can see it’s leaning a bit now and that it’s got some new growth after the flower buds
If it’s been a year, you might also want to get some succulent fertilizer, but light is the most important.
Defined real. Why give roots to plastic plants?
This is one of the golden posts on this sub, how I call them. HAHAHAHA
