Bad hair day?steemCreated with Sketch.

Is this normal??

It was growing so nicely with all those very short, almost harmless spines and the suddenly this happened. All those freaky long ones like some kind of evil creature.
It looks pretty cool and it is still a small cactus overall, even though on photos they do look quite intimidating. Little purple button that wants to look mean.

I don't think this one will flower for me this year. It is only about 2 cm across. But if you want to see some really stunning, red flowers, google the name. It is a little eye-candy.
This one is also a little skinny after the winter. If you look closely you will see how shriveled it is. Soon they will get some water and fertilized and she will be back to her normal, round self.

It is very cool, other-worldly looking.

It is.. I was so surprised to see those things growing :D

Looks like you're collecting these Miss Bad hair Day plants :)) It looks great though.

It must be destiny :P

That's weird. It's like a teenager finally growing pubic hair or something ;)
Those flowers are definitely eye candy! Is is a pumice pot?

Haha exactly how it looks like :D
You mean the brown thing on top? It's lava. I mix some with the soil and leave some on top too. Looks nice :)

I saw such cacti in which the top spines become longer with age :-)))

But this is still a baby :D :D
