Default A little help..

Hi....My cactus has been thriving for sometime now....I bought it from cameron highland even before i started CPs.....At 1 time i thought it was dying cos it was dropping parts of its "stem" but then those that drop on the pot started growing and now it has almost fill up the surface of the pot...Soooo i was thinking if anyone can ID it so i can read more about it..I don't have a camera now but its a common one which you normally see...The plant is fully green and has tinny soft thorns which stick on to you but doesn't hurt....The thorns are bare 0.5cm....Very small...Sooo anyone can ID it????????? Anyways i think you guys have seen those cactus which have only 1 stem and at the top is like a round colourful thongy....Anyone knows what it is????

Can't ID, but I think the colorful part is a type of cactus that is grafted on to the green part, which can be easily grown.

The grafted cactus hardly roots for me.I grow almost 60 types of cactus before i got addicted to neps.

Ken,

Do you mean by this cactus?: LINK

I have both varieties; white and brown.They stick up to your finger if you touch it and it's hard to clean them p once they stick to you.
