Cactus Leaning and Growing Toward Floor: Etiolation from Low Light

8-Ft Indoor Cactus Bending Over, Firm at Bend—Over-Fertilized?

4-year-old cactus doubled in size, tallest parts falling over toward floor. Center of bend is firm. Owner asks if over-feeding caused weak growth.

Cause: Insufficient Light, Not Overfeeding

Greg says low light makes stems thin and unable to support weight. Fix: add a grow lamp above plant, ensure 15+ hours/day of light.
