I think this achievement is glitched. Three tries and nothing. Ridiculous.

Try interacting with the Cactus twice each time to be sure it took.

You have to make sure you interact with the cactus just after you say "I brought you something". Marty will say "That's a nice lookin cactus you got here".

For anyone who may be having trouble with this one, make sure you don't have any items equipped when you want to "talk" with the cactus. One simple mistake I did was still having the potted plant device equipped when trying to talk to the cactus.

If Marty says something like "Nah," you've probably got the potted plant or some other non-dress up equipped, and the selection to talk to it didn't register with the game.

I'm pretty sure this misses one step. When it's the opportunity to give Edna the algae cakes you need to un-equip them and talk to cactus again and Marty says " nice cactus you got here. Following this list meant I missed that stage.

I do state to just talk to it with nothing extra equipped since the other talk options have in brackets when something is being used with it.

Yeah that step is there actually just a little bit further down. I deleted my comment after it worked second time for me but it seems it didn't delete it. Upvote from me.

If you follow the directions completely, there shouldn't be any reason to downvote this solution.

Is Marty supposed to say the same thing the last 5 times you interact with the cactus? I'm just curious if my game is bugging. Followed the story walkthrough and this solution to a T, but no achievement. The walkthrough says it can be buggy, so I'm not sure why anyone would downvote this.

Excellent solution. It's much easier to follow this than it was in the WT. Having it all written in bullet point style made it much easier to see if I missed any of the required steps.

Thank you! For some reason following the order in the walkthrough wouldn't give me the achievement but this order worked first try

After interacting with the catus the last time,
I needed to interact with the oven (next to outhouse), and pick up a burning stick on the ground after interacting with the oven, and try to use it on the outhouse with the saloon sign

Talk to it right off the back (Doc, "Hush!") and you can do this three times until "I got something for you" Edna dialogue option pops up. Think you only need the "hush" once though.
Choose "I got something for you" in Edna's dialogue tree, then talk to it before showing Edna Doc ("Nice Cactus").
Once introducing Doc plays out, Talk to it ("Help me out Danny"), then use the Flower on Edna.
Once that plays out, Talk to it while Edna is in the car ("Move faster Danny")
Trip the wire, now she thinks it's Strickland, but not. Talk to it ("Looks like a Strickland to me"). Put on wig, talk, put on hat for a cut scene. (might have to only get this response once).
Once that plays out Talk to it ("Got a point marshal") Then hang up saloon sign.
Talk to it for the last time ("Hey, it's your granddaughter...") and trophy pops. Now go play with fire.
