What’s happening with my cactus? (lemmy.world)

I'm wondering about that little appendage that’s coming out, what’s that and what’s it doing? Seems to be going away from the light. I tried to google but most result for my searches were just offers to buy a new cactus

Aerial roots. Your cactus might think it's not getting enough sunlight:

Awesome find!

You may [be] the expert diagnostician we were looking for, the cactus horticulturist!

Thanks! Damn, that’s already the sunniest spot in my room / flat.
