Looks interesting. However,it is just people making money. Cactus look better in nature. Poor organisms!!

My friend actually gave me one of those not too long ago. It was an Opuntia microdasys seedling. I sure wished I had a picture of it. :?

it looks like they are a novelty that can be replanted. I say if you love them them you'll take care of them. Couldn't they find some artificial cacti to put in those tubes?...I mean you would still have the same look.
