Thank you so much for this video. I just recently bought a cactus and I dug it up to put it in a different pot when I noticed a discoloration at its bottom. I panicked because it was my first plant and I thought it was already dying! I began to look it up, and I saw the similar discoloration happen in 2:17. I'm relieved to find that it's normal for a cactus to have a bit of change in it's color while aging. I'll keep a close eye on my plant to see if there are any other changes. Thanks again

The one cactus I really struggle with is Ming Thing. I’ve discovered that they really don’t like direct sun. I’ve had two in cactus arrangements that I keep in full sun. Both Ming Things turned an awful shade of brown and shriveled up. I’ve taken them out of the arrangements and put them in individual pots I keep in the shade. Both are slowly recovering.

I think I have what looks like a Periuvan Apple Cactus. It is turning brown from the top. Should I cut down to the good part of the plant? Should I then repot in cactus soil and keep it out of the sun until I see growth on it?

Thank you for the video. My cactus seedlings have a hole, so I am wondering what it is.

I feel soooo guilty. Since they are dessert plants, I thought cactus like direct hot sun. So in one summer I put them outside.
They were really not happy and looks like having sunburn. I hope they are recovering. But their shape changed 😔. One of the little ones and shrunk. What should I do? I water them when the soil is really really dry (like once every 2 months or sometimes 3 or so).

I have a large older Cactus that needs repoting and the bottom has turned brown from age. How do I repot it? do I leave the brown showing or repot up to where it is Green? and it is now top heavy looks like an upside down popcycle

Hi I really need help with my cactus plant. I don't have cactus fertilizer or vitamins at home.

I think it's a Finger lady type of cactus It was okay for a month but suddenly it turned yellow, I tried to put it in sunlight to help it a little, but the next day it turned dark green and soft on one side Too soft that the spikes move and it bleeds water when you tri to touch it with a stick.

I haven't watered it for a month so it wouldn't be a cause of overwatering but would you maybe know about it please?

I want to save the cactus before it dies. Please let me know if there's any tips I could do for it please 😥

Hi! My cactus has had light brown patches spreading throughout the past month. Originally thought it was sunburn so I moved it to a better spot but it hasn't improved and one of the areas has since cracked open and looks a bit black inside. By chance do you know what it could be?

I bought some cacti and succulents online and they are perfectly fine. The nursery decided to give me extra baby cacti. They're sooo tiny. The have healthy roots but they show a sign of purpleish around their stem, the look healthy as they're plump as no sign of mushiness. Can you help me with what is this purpleish thing?
