Hey everyone! I love perusing my neighbourhood's garage sales and often pick up succulents and cacti whenever I see them being sold/given away. I am just curious about this particular cactus. I guess it's more so me having some *wishful* thinking, but I feel it sort of looks like trichocereus spachianus? Especially in comparison with
this picture I found online of one.
However, I think this cactus is really old. It belonged to an old man who passed away and his green house was super overgrown with neglected cacti. Apparently they hadn't been tended to/watered for almost a year! But this guy seems to be doing well since I've started watering him. He's grown some of those hairy 'knobs' which means he's about to flower.
I am also aware he needs to be re-potted.
This may be a long shot.
But if there are any cactus-identifier pros among us, please let me know what cactus this is! Thanks in advance for any help

We have begun to contemplate our origins: starstuff pondering the stars; organized assemblages of ten billion billion billion atoms considering the evolution of atoms; tracing the long journey by which, here at least, consciousness arose. Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. We speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive is owed not just to ourselves but also to that Cosmos, ancient and vast, from which we spring.
