[CactiNoob89]

Hey new to cacti and wanted to know what kind i picked up. looks like it needed more light in its earlier days so i hope i can keep it going strong. thanks for any help been looking all over on here and so many look like they could be the same kind but not sure myself lol.

Edit: sorry if the picture came up sideways lol on my computer it is normal

Not yet new to cacti, because that isn't one It is a Euphorbia. Or three? Not sure of the exact species, but someone will know.

Euphorbia canariensis is my best guess. No actually a cactus - spiny succulent originating from the Canary Islands.

how long did you have it for? that is my concern because i live in colorado so if it gets too big i cant make it outdoor because of our winters

Only about 5 years - it was pretty prolific !!! In the Canary islands they grow to be enormous plants.
