Im very new to the world of cacti and I would really appreciate some wisdom. The right cacti was picked from the top of the left cacti and now he's got the same thing happening. Are they supposed to grow like this? What am I doing wrong ? Seems like I'm in an endless loop of plucking and growing more too small of pots ? Too big ? Too much sun? Not enough ? Thank you !!
I’ve tried to look online and it’s saying sunburn which I can maybe see that happening but I don’t think that’s it, and rot which it’s not mushy. I would just like some opinions so I can take care of this the best possible way. Thanks.
SOLVED!

Had these cacti for about 2 months and in the past weeks it’s beent getting more and more yellow. The yellow ones feel similar to the more green ones in firmness and I’ve been giving it a few sprays of water every (other) day. Any ideas?
Like the title says, I found some ming thing cacti at my local lowes. I wanted to snag one since I dont have one yet. However the other behind them are labeled ming thing aswell and I was worried they were showing witches broom signs with all the new growth points.. what do you guys think?
Super blessed, First timer over here. As the birders would say. LIFER!
This little guy was a gift a while ago and is now (I think) flowering?
Should I just leave it be, as I assume that's a sign it's healthy? Should I give it a bigger pot?
Any advice welcome, I'm very much not normally a plant person.
New here but here’s my collection! I’d love to see some unique cacti to add to the collection
Oh no my Boobie Cacti have been doing great - have doubled in size but now have weird brown patches on them. I do t want to lose them how can they be doing great for months and now have these patches? I recently got new grow lights but with where the patches are I don’t think it’s sun burn. They just got watered last week but feel a little squishy in the middle of the plant but not at the bottom of the top. The patches are hard too. What has happened? Thank you everyone for your knowledge and help!
I repotted this fairy castle cactus way back in mid April. It flopped over like crazy and so tahts why its tied to poles. The stems used ro be firm and atood straight up. I waited a month to water it. Then there was some kind of infection on the bottom (see photo). Some stems may even have a fungus, which I have been treating weekly for 5 weeks. It's floppy. Its soft. Help!
I harvested this giant pad from a bus stop in Laredo. Need to find nice spot in the yard. Not sure if the front or back…
Y’all think this is gonna flower tonight? I’m guessing it’s real close! Tonight or tomorrow!
My new variegated fire barrels put in ground. Variegation facing east on both and shade on west side of plant in xeriscape.
This used to be an indoor plant until I suffered a mealy bug infestation on a lot of my cacti,so outside they went. All cacti thriving outside esp this one. Birmingham UK
Ever get scars on your plant and kinda fall out of love with it, or not?
I got a beautiful Cereus Peruvianus Spiralis a month ago. I noticed it had scale on it so I plucked them off. Some of the scale spots were big. Since then I have used a systemic insecticide and no longer have scale. BUT my plucking left behind calloused scars. Its not fungus, but scarring. I feel like it has character now.
Do you think its ugly?
