    Most cacti fit that description so could you upload a photo please, also showing the part that droops. Many cacti also have a naturally pendulous habit so a photo is what we need.

    Recommend a climbing Rose please!

    I have Blush Noisette. Not the tallest climber, by any means, but if you are looking for willingness to please it’s a winner. Flowers from May to December. Rot proof. not too thorny. :)
