Hi Evan. Many plants change color when exposed to light, and that isn’t a bad thing. If it’s just a color change, think of it as your plant getting a tan. If there seem to be actual problems with your cactus, then I would investigate further. It might be helpful if you included a picture with this post so that people can get a better sense of what’s happening, and what to suggest. Good luck and happy growing! πŸͺ΄
oh gosh i thought i included a picture! i’m sorry!
@LaSiguanaba i posted a pic for you!
@ZingyBullmallow I’m not a cactus expert or anything, but from the photo, it seems to me that your little Saguaro is fine. I would just make sure it can tolerate your winters without having to be brought indoors. I’m in zone 8b and I’m leaving a few of my cactuses and succulents outside. I just hope they survive! πŸ˜‰β˜ΊοΈ
