Cut the yarn and pull through, hide the end into the first st made.

With the back of the Fly Trap facing you, weave a pipe cleaner from the center stitch to a
stitch adjacent to it. Twist the pipe cleaner together, leaving an untwisted inch on the bottom.

Take a long strand of yarn and pull it through mouth from one of the stitches used for the
pipe cleaner. Begin wrapping the yarn ends around the pipe cleaner covering it up. Weave
under the end of the pipe cleaner to secure, and start wrapping up with gaps in between to
add a vine detail and fully cover the pipe cleaner in yarn (except the untwisted inch at the
bottom).

Pull the yarn ends through each stitch on the fly trap and double knot. Hide the ends on the
inside of the fly trap. Insert the end of the pipe cleaner into the dirt filler and twist on the
inside to secure.

Vine Stem Optional

You can make another stem as a tentacle like vine to hold a skull by using a similar technique. This time, place a needle in the end of the pipe cleaner before twisting it up leaving an inch untwisted for securing to the dirt. This will leave a hole at the end for hiding yarn into.

Now begin wrapping yarn starting from the bottom and working your way up to the hole. When you get to the end insert the yarn into the hole using a needle wrapping around the tip to fully cover in yarn. Then work back down to the base, fully covering the pipe cleaner. Use the two tail ends of yarn, along with the untwisted ends, to secure to the dirt.

Magic loop

Rnd 1: sc 6 into the magic loop (6)

Rnd 2: inc in each (12)

Rnd 3: [sc 1, inc 1] 6 times (18)

Rnd 8: [sc 1, invdec 1] 6 times (12)

Rnd 9: invdec in each (6)

Cut the yarn, pull through. Stuff fully and sew closed.

To add feet to my cactuses I suggest using 2 Bobble Stitches (aka "bo") in the last round of single crochet stitches separated by a few single crochets. This should be done in the round right before decreasing (invdec) so that they’re at the bottom of your cactus.
For this pattern, replace Rnd 7 in the Dirt Filler with the following Rnd, but be sure to switch to Green for each bobble stitch...
Rnd 7: sc 6, bo, sc 4, bo, sc 6 (18)
