    Excuse me, can anyone here help me identify this small potted cactus? It's about 5cm wide, 3cm tall.

    Also! How do I take care of it well? Will it ever bloom? :o Should I cut off the roots that grow out from the pot? Should I repot it? What kind of pot should I use? Will it continue to grow? Not to mention it's pricks (spines(?)) are not solid hard but rather thin and it feels furry :) but a bit prickly :)!

    Please and thank you :) ! If you need more pics, I'll upload them asap :)!

    Can't tell much from this shot, maybe it's a golden barrel cactus. Definitely time for a bigger pot.
