How to fertilize Abrojo

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Abrojo after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

How do I bring my Bunny Ear Cactus back to life/health? My Bunny Ears started wilting with the sun a couple weeks ago and now seems to be rotting at the bottom and isn't even staying up. I don't know how to remove to check the roots or even repot, and even if I do I don't know what to look for when it comes to a cactus. I added cactus fertilizer and a tiny bit of water and then this happened. Anyone have any advice on how to take care of this? #cactus #bunnyearcactus
