@Hex_ADHD yea that’s what i thought i didn’t know it was a indoor plant and it rained last night but it’s inside now by the window it should heal right
@Hex_ADHD yea i’m new i got it at Home Depot Thursday night and figured i’ll just move it inside and let it heal and grow and water it when needed it other than that i never even had a flower so this is weird lol
Weeeeell... TruthBeTold, @Hex_ADHD there are a few possibilities. Thanx for the tag 👍🏾
How long have You had this cactus plantbaby, @TopBogbean27?
Has it recently been exposed to cold weather or excess water for a prolonged period?
Either would cause this.
I know that it is difficult to handle them, because of the spines and/or glochids, but I would suggest using a spoon (that's what I do 🤷🏾♀️) to uproot that particular cactus and inspect for rootrot.
IF it is rotted, You can simply cut away all of the deadened area and set the remaining (green) portion atop the soil... it will begin to root as long as You do not keep the soil too moist, ohkay?
Your surrounding cacti look fine so whatever occurred seems to thusfar only have affected this one(1) rootsystem.
** before You replant, add a little Epsom Salt into the soil, it will aid in the recovery while also benefiting the healthy-looking cacti.
🪴 Good Luck! 🪴
