My cactus isnt growing@ Hello! So I have had a cactus for about 3 years now. This cactus has been through alot as I had birds and they pecked at it constantly. I tried to prevent this as much as possible but my family members did not. Ever since then it has pretty much stayed the exact same. Please let me know if there is anything I can do as I am very sentimental to this plant. Thank you #cactus
