Well, I bought this little tiny cactus about 5 years ago ... well hopefully it's a cactus. I think it was called madagascar something or other.

But i just can't remember what the name is.

Now it's about 2 feet tall , has 4 or 5 spiny branches with round, thick, leaves. It has bright pink flowers in groups of 3 on about 2 inch sticky stems. What the hell is it. Id like to know what type of fertilizer it enjoys and how long they last

Your description is too vague to identify the plant but it most definitely
is not a member of the Cactaceae. How about posting a picture of it?

What is the point of the poll? Don't like the badly worded choices given.

Question: Do you keep cactus?

- No I hate the darn things
- Not if I can help it.
- Yes, occasionally
- Yes, I love them I own many

That is if there was such a thing as rec gardening cati and if Julia2297 was
an actual person and a not a thinly disguised spammer.

What in the freak is a cati supposed to be anyway? Plural for cat? It ain't
no cactus.
