A cactus blooms after 3 years, and the netizen can't stand staying in the room

A netizen grew a pot of "cactus", and after 3 years it bloomed a single flower, and they couldn't stand staying in the room...

In life, I believe many people have had the experience of growing some plants. Although plants, unlike pets, can interact with their owners, they also don't need to be specially fed every day, which saves a lot of trouble while also bringing some joy to life, which is really quite nice! However, there are many kinds of plants in nature. Not to mention recognizing plant seeds, sometimes even when several similar plants are placed together, you may not be able to identify them all, so quite a few netizens have gone through growing a plant for a long time only to find they had grown the wrong thing...

And so, a while ago, a netizen posted that they had grown a pot of "cactus", and after about three years, this cactus produced a flower bud, which made them extremely excited, since being able to see a cactus bloom is a very lucky thing, so they quietly waited for the flower to bloom, but after it finally bloomed, their room became unbearable, because the flower had a strange smell...

In everyday life, quite a few people may grow cacti, and there are also many kinds of cacti, so ordinary people may not be able to recognize the types of cacti, and when growing them, as long as they "look like" one, that's basically fine. This netizen was in the same situation. Three years ago, they started growing a "cactus". Although they didn't take much care of it normally, after seeing this "cactus" produce a flower bud, they were still extremely excited!

In people's impressions, not many have seen a cactus bloom, and being able to see a cactus bloom, especially one you grew yourself, is also a very fulfilling thing. This netizen waited with extreme anticipation for the "cactus" to bloom, and finally one day, it bloomed a "gorgeous" little red flower.

However, this little flower did not look that "sunny", and the most important thing was that it also carried an unpleasant smell... So much so that they didn't even want to stay in the room where the flower was placed. The netizen couldn't take it and went online to check, and after seeing the result, completely broke down!

It turned out that what they had grown was not a cactus at all, but a plant called "large-flowered stapelia" (Stapelia gigantea). This plant looks very much like a cactus and indeed does bloom a kind of "large flower", but its flower exists for the purpose of seeding, attracting insects to pollinate it by giving off an unpleasant smell...

After seeing this, netizens didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and many expressed sympathy, while some netizens said that they had actually had the same experience! For example, the netizen below also grew one for three years, only to be greeted with this nightmare-like "flower"!

Actually, this kind of "succulent" plant, apart from the flower having a bit of a smell, still looks very beautiful, so many people also grow it as a potted plant. The flower that blooms after three years of growing, whether good or bad, you just have to accept it...
