Need some advice/help! My cactus has been slowly dwindling since I’ve had it for over a year. Any recommendations on next steps on what to do?

It needs more sun. What direction does this window face? How much sun are you giving it?

It’s in the window which sun comes out in the morning. I put it under a grow lamp

That would be a north facing window so not a ton of sun maybe try using the grow light more. It also looks to be in a normal soil, it would probably do better in cactus/succulent soil!! Can be found at most plant and hardware stores

I said north sorry it would be east. North and east windows receive the least sun and west and south windows receive the most

This isn’t plant advice, but I’m really spiritual and I would take the skull out since it represents death and I’m weird about that stuff 😅😂

Have you tried repotting with cacti and succulent soil?

#### Jenny Murphy님이 2023-11-12에 답변했습니다.

I repotted not too long ago.. do you think putting in a smaller pot would be better?

#### DontH8Propogate님이 2023-11-13에 답변했습니다.

I think the pot is fine. Do you fertilize it? It may need more nutrients.
