My cactus is apparently dying at the roots, how can I save it? It doesn't receive direct sunlight and I try not to give it water!

It’s kinda hard to tell from the picture but you may have a scale infestation on that front and center cactus. The one on the far right definitely needs to be removed or propagated.
