# Hey guys I watered this dragon fruit cactus two weeks ago and it…

_Geplaatst door plant mommy op 2025-02-20_

Hey guys I watered this dragon fruit cactus two weeks ago and it instantly got brown limp and mushy. I got it semi-abused so to speak but I’ve given it dryyyyyy soil and bright sun and it just keeps declining. It might look okay but it’s mushy, brown, stems breaking and leaking water and they won’t stay up straight. Help!

If it's not over watering?

If this doesn't have drainage, they are staging too wet.

It does the soil is bone dry it’s just dark because of the type of soil
