What is the best way to progate my cochineal cactus?

Is my cactus going to flower? So I havenāt had a cactus since I was in high school & my mom drowned it while I was gone for a week, so I never saw it do much but get taller. I recently got 2 cacti & my drooping prickly pear is doing something. Iām not sure what these do as they get taller so I wasnāt sure if this was new growth or if itās going to flower. Itās on every single little part protruding out. #DroopingPricklyPear #newflower #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #CactusClique

Weird discoloring happening on 2of the 3 cacti . Iām afraid itās due to overwatering and or root rot but I still see new growth happeningā¦ itās well draining planted and gets roughly 5-6 hours of direct light and bright indirect for the remaining part of the day. Canāt seem to find much information on this little guy so any help or direction would be appreciated !

Does my plant look okay? Hi there! I just recently got plants for the first time so I have no idea what Iām doing. I noticed my Bunny Ears Cactus has these little holes and is leaning down some. I also noticed a very small bug flying around just this particular plant and none of my others. The base doesnāt feel mushy. I was just wondering if thereās anything going on with my plant. Thanks!

Bunny Ears Ok everyone I have these bunny ears that I "saved" about 2 years ago. They were really bad. I replanted them in this larger pot and have grown but as you can see that white "fluff" on it Is that normal?
-
Is this a Drooping Prickly Pear? Hi! I'm not sure what type of Opuntia this is, as I grew it from a seed harvested from a prickly pear fruit. Does this look like a Droopy Prickly Pear or could it be another type of Opuntia? See attached pictures. Thanks! :)
