Leuchtenbergia principis Cactus It is leafless and producesLeuchtenbergia principis One of the strangest looking of all cacti! It has the longest tubercles of any cactus (rivaled only by Astrophytum caput medusae)! They are the long arms that make up this plant. In a normal cactus they are just the small bumps that the spines are born on. The spines in this cactus are long and look fierce, but are actually quite thin and bendable. You don't have to worry about poking yourself on them. Takes normal cactus
