my moon cactus is feeling squishy at the bottom, definitely over watered it. If it put it in front of my grow light will it dry up or do i need to change soil? 🤦‍♀️

I had one of those. I don’t know, but they seem to be flawed cacti as a general rule because of the graft on top. Mine rotted out also, but I’m not the best at “leaving plants alone.” I’d say light and heat are a good idea, but you should check for mold.

Definitely over watered… don’t water it again until the soil is dry. If the root is squishy that’s root rot so your best bet is to move it to another pot or leave under light and let dry out🤞🏼 this happened to my money tree
