Over watered?

Hi, is my star cactus over watered? The leaves are squishy and thin. I think my coworker has been secretly watering it. #succulents
5ft to light, indirect
2โ€ pot with drainage
Last watered 11 months ago
@Plantaholic78 It might be over-watered but it also might be that it needs more sunlight. Internet says that they need 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Just an observation, Randi's plant tag says that it's 5 feet away from a light source. I know that you're at work and it might not be possible to move it but maybe you can get it a little baby grow light? If not Pothos or Philodendron also do well in lower light conditions. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’š
I was away on vacation for a week and so it didn't get direct sun. I'm back now and it gets 7 hours of plant lamp light a day.
Oh no! @costafarmsteam โ€” could you help take a look and offer some advice? ๐ŸŒต๐Ÿ’š Looks like this star cactus might have been overwatered.
We are sorry to see your plant struggling. Overwatering can be an issue, but also poor water drainage. Make sure the pot is draining any excess water. Also, keep it where it can get bright, indirect light, natural light. Keep it far from heaters, cold drafts and AC units ๐Ÿชด๐Ÿ’›
