Why is my fishbone cactus wrinkly?
I water it regularly in well draining soil. The soil is currently moist so I don't think it is due to underwatering.
I also recently checked for root rot and there didn't seem to be any. #FishboneCactus

@ShowyLuckyjade it might be the amount of water rather than the frequency. So whenever the soil has completely dried out, give it a really good thorough soaking until water begins coming out the drainage holes. Then wait until it's completely dried out before watering again.
The wrinkling isn't going to harm it long term, in fact many folks wait until the leaves are wrinkly before watering. Better to underwater your succulents and cacti than overwater ð

@stephonicle i totally agree. It has to do with lack of water but maybe not with frecuency! You water it by inmersion or top? Try inmersion and leave it for a whole night. Some of my plants need a lot of water , when they do
I normally bottom water, and leave it in a large bowl for about an hour
