Is it in a pot? if so, give it a good balanced feed, then feed it regularly (weekly) with a high flower feed from april onwards. Return to balanced feed after it has flowered until autumn. If it is in the ground it may also be worth feeding it if the soil is not really fertile. Also check it is getting enough moisture (especially if planted near a wall) add compost and a mulch to conserve the moisture. also if it is an un-named plant it may have been grown from seed and sometimes they just don't flower. Prune any tendrils growing off the main stem back to 3 buds, this will encourage it to form new stocky growth. Good luck!

Great cactus!

To keep the cactus in good form, I would suggest cutting off the little leaves that are sprouting at the top, and also watering it more sparingly so that it doesn't grow so quickly and lose its shape!
