I wonder what extra light has to bear on this? Does it need a pollinator, one not common to your area? Might be waffling out of my depth! ![]() I don't know whether light affects its fruiting. The cactus is in the backyard, not near street lights. In the morning, the flowers attract honeybees while closing slowly over several hours. I haven't seen night-flying pollinators visit. These cacti are so prolific at vegetative reproduction, sending up shoots from the base, that they could do well without fruiting.

It's started to shrivel and leak a little liquid, and the red surface is turning black, starting at the edges of the opening.

The seeds look like watermelon seeds but much smaller.
