@WintersHome Grey areas on a Bunny Ear cactus mean it is corking (growing a woody base) or rotting from too much water. At the same time, new pad growth means the plant gets enough light and energy to grow. Why Grey Areas HappenCorking: The bottom stem turns grey, brown, and hard. This is normal. It acts like tree bark to hold up heavy new pads.Rotting: The grey spots feel soft, squishy, or wet. This happens when the soil stays wet too long. Why New Pads GrowGood Health: New pads mean the cactus is happy and getting strong sun.Spring and Summer: Warm weather triggers the cactus to make new parts.How to Tell the Difference Hard and dry: It is safe corking. Do nothing.Soft and mushy: It is dangerous rot. Cut off the sick parts and stop watering.
Thank you so much!
