Scale or something else??
Hello everybody! I got a boobie cactus pretty recently, and I noticed these odd spots on it, it dos seem like they’ve been spreading too. I do not know what the issue is, it is definitely not watering.
Please help! #BoobieCactus
3” pot with drainage

Hello @Meki. It looks corking to me. The "skin" is hardening to protect itself. Could be from age, environmental, or from unseen damage. It's not bad necessarily, but it's irreversible, it just happens. I don't know if you can see it very well but here's an example of more corking. Mine came that way, it's got character and/or tattoos πŸ˜„
That isn’t scale but I don’t know what may have caused it.
@FairyFly thank you very much! I was so worried that I’m going to loose the plant!
No problem @Meki. We're here to help! 🦸
