Rot or lack of water ? What can I do to fix this. A month ago I got this Sulcorbutia rauschii, she looked much better, even though she still seemed a little soft. I have missed a couple watering days recently however she is showing some discoloration (the middle cactus/biggest one) it’s yellowish brown. She is soft but that could be because of the lack of water. She has many pups, I’m wondering if I could cut those off and if it’s okay to do so, if they don’t have roots. Or if I should wait for them to have roots. The roots were really healthy when I got her, & I planted her in bonsai jack mix with added Soil. I water her every 15 days or so & she is under grow lights for 10+ hours a day. #CactusClique #Cacti #Cactus #RootRot #PropagationStation #Propagation #PlantAddict #HappyPlants #grafting
