I bought this little cactus at Wal-Mart 4 years ago on the clearance rack for 99 cents. It used to stand straight up - it's a common single stem (not sure of the right word) cactus. But now it just hangs limply over the side of it's pot. It was never root bound, but the roots will just not grow out, I guess, to support the top. I have tried propping it with a network of sticks and string, so it will stand up but it insists on finding a way to plop back down again EVERY time. If I put a rock there to support it, it finds away around it in just a few days. Everyone laughs at it and says it needs some viagra! Lol. Why does my cactus insist on growing this way??

Maybe it needs a little water. Even cacti need a little water now and then.

Maybe it needs some more sun.

Maybe you give it too much water.
