I have had this Peyote for about 1 year. It has slowly gone from a nice green to a pit of a patchy blue mixed with whitish coloring and is slightly shriveled. Is it alright? I water it once a week a little and it gets part sun. It was also flowering when I bought it and I have reppoted it since I have bought it. (Reference photo plus photo around the time I bought it, sorry for the blurryness).

This has happened over a couple of weeks. What might be causing this and how do I save it?

Was wondering what kind of cactus this is? It started getting white fuzzies around the spikes. It was in a pile on the side of the road and I couldn’t let it be put in a dump.

Disclaimer: I know nothing about cactuses.

I tied the top to my porch with pantyhose and watched her bend in very unnatural ways but she made it

Any help identifying the white stuff is appreciated.

Advices n critics are well taken

The image search says prickly pear or hedgehog when I ask it, I am not sure it identifies anything but the tallest one. I don’t think it’s correct. These were getting 2 teaspoons of water every two weeks or so and then someone told me to dunk it under water then let it all drain out. Instead I watered it about equal to or 1/3 of the pot capacity. Not long after it shot up in height and isn’t same shape.

This is my mom‘s cactus. Unfortunately she has been too ill to care for it for sometime and my dad just hasn’t been doing the best job. It went from being one of her most beautiful plants in the collection to this. Please help me care for it properly, any advice?

Is there an ideal time of day to water cacti?

Hi! I started growing these cereus spiralis from seeds about 9 months ago and for the most part I kept them in a humid environment. They looked relatively good during that period of time (I think) but it all went downhill when I took them out of there to try to acclimatize them to a more dry environment. They now seem really faded, skinny and frail and I don’t know what I should do about it. I thought they were maybe not getting enough light even though they are in a south facing window with a good grow light above since the days are getting shorter but I don’t think that’s the issue. Should I put them back in that humid environment? I thought they would be ready but maybe they’re still too small to handle that transition. When they were in that humid plastic bag, I would just mist them from time to time and ever since I took them out a bit more than a month ago, I tried watering them thoroughly twice since I noticed that the soil was completely dried. I’d like to know your thoughts!

I received this cactus and I have no idea what I’m doing. Any help would be appreciated. I did get some puck lights that I plan on having specifically for this cacti. The soil needs to be replaced obviously, but it has this brown yellow bottom…. It’s hard, not mushy, so I’m hopefully it’s not rotting… YET. Any help, recommendations and identification would be welcomed!
