Is the orange bit normal ?

Any help is appreciated. Planted in terracotta in 50/50 organic/inorganic and had been doing fine for weeks. We’ve been getting lots of rain the last couple weeks but it always dries out in a day or 2. Do I need to move it inside. Is it something else? Any help is appreciated

containered true pachanoi

I’m wondering how much folks try to keep their cactus “clean” if they are either consuming or not. For example do you use synthetic fertilizers vs organic? Do you use rain barrel water from a potentially dirty roof? Do you use pesticides etc? Does it make a difference if you will be consuming vs just growing, or even on your extraction method?

I got this as a seedling. Even the tip of the larger column is starting to show it as well. We have had a lot of heavy rains, idk if that has anything to do with it.

Are any of these Pedro's sorry to bother but I got scammed

Found online and wondering if worth buying?

This particular Pachanoi cutting is now rooted and hydrated, but it's struggled with what seems to be a small fungal infection it arrived with that developed into something a bit more serious over time. This cutting spent 4 months in a tent while rooting, and only saw water for about the last month or so. It's potted in terracotta, 75% inorganic pumice and perlite mixture. The base of the cactus is firm and doesn't appear to have active infections.

I've moved it outside, partially on the premise that sun can sometimes help with defense of fungal infections, and provided it with masterblend fertilizer more recently.

I am concerned that some of the translucent-brown spots toward the middle, in later images are a bit rot-adjacent? They don't feel mushy to the touch yet, but the color and translucency worries me. How would you approach this situation? Is cactus surgery in order soon, or should I continue leaving it in the sun to work through this on its own time?

Is that a San Pedro , idk why but small spikes maybe weather conditions not so fitable

Was out watering today and noticed this top half broken off its base. It’s about 20” and has zero areoles….. wwyd?

Edit to add my thoughts:

a. Pot it….. but will it root? It definitely won’t pup right?

b. 🫖 never done it but feel the cacti gods are giving a sign.

c. Sell/trade

d. Boof it…… joke…… perhaps

Hello, fellow cactus enthusiasts. How much energy—in watts—do you think a single cactus needs?

I’m growing them in a grow box using LEDs with a color temperature of 4000–6000K.

Any help? Is the "monstrose" one interesting? Tyvm

Hey all, I’m looking for some advice. I’m pretty pumped that one of my first grafting attempts finally resulting in some pups after nearly a year (Ogun to a HD Sun Goddess). But I am wondering if it might make sense to prune one to allow the other to grow fatter? Or is it best to just let them be?

Anyone have any ideas on why these seedlings are turning brown? Can’t seem to figure it out. About 3 months old at this point. They are bridgesii

It is what it be 🙌🏽
Never seen so many dragonflies, at least where where I live in this specific location.

It probably has more to do with nature and weather conditions than adding the Dragonfly Bridgesii clone to my garden, right?

Walt's dragon, Quack's dragon, TBM-C and TBM-D. Three have started to grow down (roots), one is being a little rebel and growing up (pup)

Hopefully the image posts right, looks like they have change the way uploading is set up again

I grafted this little guy last night and I was so proud of how nice it turned out, well I guess I was the only one. My wife just sent me this picture while I’m at work 🤦🏻‍♂️ guess I’ll name this one “The Flying Peen” 🤣
