No, those that are close to the ground aren't the ones Steven was talking about. The cuttings he got from me were the larger succulent right in front of the white planter pots. And it grows upright, like a bush.Hello Yvonne, I stumbled over this thread.
The cactus you have are they a certain type? I like the way yours stay close to the ground. View attachment 264726

The two big opuntia fell over last winter because of the wet ground and the roots couldn't hold the heavy plants.

If you only knew! I spend three quarters of my day sitting in my recliner, working jigsaw puzzles. The house doesn't get cleaned. I'd be ashamed to have anyone over - thank goodness, no one ever comes over!!! During the summer I water twice a week, but in winter the pots don't dry out but maybe once a month. And the outside plants take care of themselves. About twice a year I load up my battery operated five gallon sprayer with Round-Up and spray all the weeds. Takes maybe three hours to do the whole property. Much less time than it would take to have to hoe or pull all those weeds. I know it sounds like I'm a pretty active and busy person, when you only read snippets of my life here, but actually, I'm pretty lazy and don't do much.WOW where do you find the time.

Yup, and it would be bad for my tortoises, however, I don't spray in any of their yards and I'm careful to not spray on breezy/windy daysIs not roundup bad for the torts?
