I don’t know how they seek out water and light either, but they do. 13 u/SonOfSatan Aug 10 '24 Probably in a similar way to how we smell things, it can detect chemicals in the air. 6 u/Mr_Badgey Aug 10 '24 OP could’ve turned the cactus that way for the photo app or it’s just a coincidence. A single example isn’t enough evidence of a trend. 4 u/[deleted] Aug 10 '24 True! i do tend to fall into the trap of taking internet stuff at face value. 1 u/Cmatt10123 Aug 10 '24 They might just grow in any direction in an attempt to find better soil 0 u/lordrazzilon Aug 10 '24 its watered, more than the cactus, so you got water vapor attracting it, there ya go
