My cactus is leaning and getting some wrinkles does anyone know what it means? He is in the sun so my guess is the water is drying out too fast?

Do you top water?  Sometime it can still leave dry patches…have you tried bottom watering?

@Dustmite · Answer

How often are you watering it?  Microdasys do have the tendency to flop over

@Dustmite · Answer

They're still showing new growth while wrinkling, so I would bet they need a little more frequent watering.  My opuntia all generally handle a little more water than many other genus of cactus.

It's a small pot, plus it's terracotta.  It dries out fast in the sun I'd bet

Dehydrated

Yeah it’s just dehydrated.  They can absorb more water than some cacti. They will need more frequent watering.  They are usually more difficult to rot.  Just makes them grow faster

Gravity comes for us all eventually. 👵🏻 But being outside it’ll dry out a lot faster (unless there’s rain, ofc). Wrinkly anything that stores up water means it’s close to E and needs a fill-up.

My cactus is leaning and getting some wrinkles does anyon...
