Interestingly, cacti seem to be pretty popular at my favorite local plant shops in Chicago. I love my cacti but it’s really hard to know if they are happy!
I love a cactus. But you’re so right, they seem to have fallen out of fashion. I’ve got a cactus as tall as I am (6ft+), and probably just as heavy too. It came from a friend of ours who didn’t have space for it anymore. He gave it to us for free - the only catch was that we had to take responsibility for transporting it across London. Needless to say, that thing was an absolute beast to wrap up, shift down his stairs, into the van, out of the van, up our stairs, and then unwrap. I got plenty spiked that day! Worth it though, to have such an enormous cactus keeping me company as I write.
