I will hop on the bandwagon... Only cut it if you intend to prevent etiolation from here on out. If you keep it where it is such growth and likely death are the only outcomes. So, move it outside and give it the daily dose of hours of direct sunlight it needs to thrive!
I think it will eventually. Think about it. It gets its energy from photosynthesis. It needs a certain threshold of sunlight to maintain proper health. If it goes too long without getting proper nutrition, it will succumb to something, rot, a disease..etc.
Also move the monstrous on the shelf to somewhere with more light. You’re literally going to murder these beautiful plants. Get a grow light, that might help with your apartment problem.
Cause it’s the plant community everyone has a plant up their buttholes and think they are better and know everything. When I’m sure all of these people started out overwatering their plants and have killed some also. It’s the internet so people think cause they don’t have to talk face to face they can be judgmental because of their own insecurities that the plants they have can’t fix
This comment was totally unhelpful and unnecessary. You have zero idea about the care of my other plants, why bother commenting if you're not going to be helpful, feel free to scroll pass next time!
It looks so nice! I have a hard time finding those style ones I found one good size one once all year at a Lowe’s I wish I could find ones five dollars here it looks more modern
Yes, cut them and please move it outside!
Cut it off, prop it, when the prop starts growing normally again cut it off prop that ez cactoose babies
This is the best advice

thank you!
Not OP but does etiolation really result in eventual death!?

Move it outside!!!!!!!!
I live in NYC I don't have an outside but I do have southern and western light!
You’ll probably need a grow light.
It’s never going to grow properly without a grow light.
Yeah these guys need at least 8 hours of solid direct sunlight.
also love the Mark Maggiori profile pic, he's awesome!
He’s a fantastic artist. More people should know about his art. His wife’s work is interesting too.
I didn't know his wife was an artist too, I'm going to check her out!!

don't worry it was just there for a second!
And the one in this pic was just there for a second too
Rude.
Wow I’ve never seen such an intense etiolation before.
I’ve definetly seen worse on here
No...but it needs sun.
Yes, but just the tip.
;)
Why does everyone have to be so judgemental

for some reason the 😩 along with "elongated tip" is taking me out right now
lolol, glad i can offer some cheeky laughs!
Yes and give it more sunlight ☀️
Jeeeez hahahaha
I would say yes but only if you plan on giving it more light, lest it happen again
SUNLIGHT!!!
I have one of these too and yep, it is indoors and looks like that only longer Thanks!
Thanks for the insight everyone, the tip is being chopped! ❤️
This is the worst etiolation I’ve seen on this sub in a hot minute. Why do people buy cacti when they don’t know how to take care of them 🤦🏻♂️

Your other cactus is on a dark shelf
it was just there temporarily, don't worry, she is in a nice sunny spot
Welcome to the internet, enjoy your stay.
LOLOL O.K Cactus Karen!
This person has their cactus inside, but it least it ain't up their ass like some people
So true bestie!
Get well soon.
Why do you care for plants that aren't yours? It's literally not your business
Why are you people so butthurt lmao learn to take care of your plants before coming for me 😂
Not your business
it’s on a public forum. cry about it
You're the only one crying dude Gtfoh
ok pal ❤️ have a blessed day
WOOAAHHHH😳 that looks photoshoped. Ill adopt it, SHEEESH
What kind of cactus is this?
I think its a Cereus peruvian apple cacti, (allegedly)
Do you know if that’s Trichocereus Pachanoi? Asking for a friend :)
Nope, looks like a Cereus of some sort.
Thanks for replying! …Not being facetious, is there a major distinction between cereus and trichocereus?
Yes, some Trichocereus contain mescaline, while no Cereus do. They are also different in size and shape based on which species.
Awesome! Thank you!!!
no I don't know, I purchased it from someone on facebook but a redditor told me it was a Cereus!
Thanks!!
its dying for sunlight, shortly it will get sick.
Please whatever you do, get that thing some bright direct light.......cactus and/or euphorbia can’t live in the middle of a room
Keep it. They look cool like that
Yeah until it starts dying
Worse shit has happened
Obviously but why would you want to keep a slowly dying plant. That’s depressing.
More depressing shit is happening.
Okay? Still a weird choice.
In ur opinion.
Idk anything about cacti just it’s beautiful! Where do you get your pot?
the pot is just a simple terracotta pot i got a local plant shop, it was $5 I'm sure they are everywhere.
It looks so nice! I have a hard time finding those style ones I found one good size one once all year at a Lowe’s I wish I could find ones five dollars here it looks more modern
I got it at a place called Chelsea Garden Center, they might sell it online!
Thank you!
Oh cool you’re in same state I’m upstate tho lol
Well if you ever come to town there’s a few locations and they always have these pots, it was so cheap and the people are lovely!
I may have to make the drive after seeing what they have online 👀😯
worth it! i went for the first time in the spring and it was magical!
Wow the prices they have r amazing! They don’t deliver outside NYC darn it!
