Such a cutie, but weird.

maybe going back to its roots? Lol

seriously, will you let it grow and see what happens?

I will certainly do that! I just am a little weirded out by it lol

I think it's cool! That's a fun surprise I think.

Well, it isn't blue and doesn't resemble frick. Frack , perhaps, but not frick. The good thing is that it does look cacti-ish and not, say conifer-ish. That would be weird. I'd say let it grow, as well.

tj

There's another one peeking out of the soil near the edge of the pot. See it?

Maybe some seeds from different cacti landed in the pot and on the Easter cacti...and now they are growing.

I dont have any other cacti. Plus, it's growing directly out of the Easter cactus.

They are juvenile stems that aren't getting enough light.

Hi Mentha,

W/ that amount of Spikes?

yep. I've seen it a lot with a lot of epiphytic cacti, More often with Rhipsalis but it can happen with any of them.

Ok good to know! I will move them closer to the window.

I have two of these from last year and they're very fussy. I think I finally got the watering figured out *fingers crossed*

Why thank you, Tiffany. I try very hard to be technical on internet forums. I regularly read three to seven pages out of the dictionary before I initiate any form of online communication.

I casually stumbled upon the term 'blue frick' while perusing a very obscure underground scientific database which you've probably never heard of, because it doesn't exist.

Well done!

Im also a liar lol

I have the same thing growing on my Easter cactus (Rhipsalidopsis) and it's right up against the window. I was actually wondering if it's getting TOO much sun?

Every time my lawyer friend swears, he follows up with "it's a legal term".
