How can you tell if your cactus is having babies?

You can tell if your cactus is having babies, or "pups," by looking for small, new growths emerging from the base or sides of the main plant. These pups typically resemble miniature versions of the parent cactus and may have their own roots. Additionally, if your cactus is healthy and has a good growing environment, it may produce flowers, which can also indicate that it is in a reproductive phase. Regularly checking for these signs will help you identify if your cactus is propagating.
