In my last post i asked how to make a basic cactus and i got it! How would i add those ridges tho? Tried it for about an hour now and got it to work on the big cactus in the middle but the smaller ones right and left seem pretty hard.

How would i apply the ridges from the green pen holder to my model?

Thank you!  
I had the same idea before you answered and was like „well I don’t have to do only circle lofts…“  
Always a good feeling to figure things out myself but your answer would have saved me!

3D printed the entire thing, looks great I even made a little pot 🙂
