Hi, I would like to know what kind of cactus this is, how tall it is likely to be, does it bloom? I know the strawflower on it is artificial. Any other information on this type of cactus will be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Crystal

Is it possibly

Or maybe stenocereus pruinosus

I think it is a Stenocereus. These need lots and lots of light in your area - full sun if at all possible. They will flower but not until the are a lot larger - these get to be tree size with age if given the space to grow - likely not happening in a pot.
They are night bloomers and not cold hardy so need to be kept inside in the winter.
They also do not like a whole lot of moisture even if it is not cold.
It is what it is!

Thank you so much for all the info, sometimes I have a hard time keeping my plants alive since I don't know what they need to thrive. Thanks again, Crystal
