I am a novice Cactus grower but really enjoy growing them from seed.
Each year I'll get a pack of mixed seeds and see what I get!
The cactus pictured below is about 7 or 8 years old and has just finished flowering. Can anyone tell me what the little growth on the side is or will be?
Thanks
Richard

Re: What is happening here?
It looks as though your cactus has an offshoot. Just watch it grow. If you don't like it you could remove it once it gets to a decent size and root it separately.

Thanks for taking the time to reply Rod. Much appreciated.
I'll certainly leave it on and see what type of branch appears!
