Arborescent Prickly Pear

Hi everyone!
I kind of forgot about my cactus and it was all completely white. I gave it a bunch of water and the bottom seems to be regaining some colour. Do we think this id salvageable πŸ˜…

Last watered 1 year ago
@VividBlackrose Hi, Mathilde. I do not believe that is the correct ID for your cactus. Prickly pears look way different than what you have. This is a columnar cactus 🌡 of some kind (Espostoa).

How long did you forget about your cactus (how long did it go between waterings)? Can you post a CURRENT picture?

Thank you Melisse! I was thinking this doesn’t seem right but couldn’t figure out which cactus it really was!

I forgot about it for a good few months!
