Cactus 🌵 folks… is this normal? #CactusClique

#SucculentSquad I’ve had him for more than a year. He gets indirect light in my east window. I used an auto diagnose app and it said not enough sunlight. I’m thinking the grafted part is dying? It was green. Or is this normal? I think the marks are scarring. He gets watered about every 2.5 to 3wks. Solid root system. Can’t lift him out of the pot at all. On his plant card you can see the color he was awhile ago. Thanks! #PlantAddict #BalloonCactus

Cactus adapt harsh conditions so you may water it once every 2 weeks and yes it surely needs at least 5 hours if direct sunlight

You are overwatering it and it will absolutely thrive in direct sunlight

@KDkat3 Besides the sunlight is he getting enough nutrients from his soil? You said you can’t lift him out, is he root bound?🧐

@BrawnyRedrose I can check him tomorrow. I haven’t bothered him because I wasn’t sure if he was happy or dying. But then I read about albino’s and wondered if maybe he’s albino?! It’s def doubled in size.
