Is my cactus dead?

:( I did water it once a week as the soil felt extremely dry and it was placed near the window with indirect sunlight. But it never grew :(
4” pot
Last watered 3 years ago
Is not dead yet.
@SirLiquorice how can this cactus be saved?
@Astromind I repotted with a mix of sand soil and the normal one. Before it was in the sandy soil only and I think it wasn't absorbing enough water due to fast drainage and it used to get dry really fast. It made me water him more every once a week.
@AstroMind I was shocked to see small roots, I've had him for quite sometime now. It seems like it's growth is stunted for some reason.
@SirLiquorice is this cactus able to be saved or not?
I'm glad you found Greg, Noor! I'm wondering if it isn't getting enough sunlight. Usually cacti like more than indirect light.

If it's green, it's still good. (:
I do think it will live. If you have it in half sand and half soil, have drainage in the pot, good light and water about once a week to every ten days I think it will make it. 😊
