The bottom portion is a dragon fruit cactus. You can buy a plant that size for about $10. Online videos show how to splice the two cacti together if you want to save the top cactus. Just splice it onto a new plant.

Ok

yea too much water/too little light or a humid environment can cause it  
also sandy soil add more perlite/less potting soil

My opinion is throw it away and buy a new one.

### TheyYoungPlantNerd kommenterte den 2025-02-28

How often did you water it?

#### Joana svarte den 2025-02-28

Every month when I saw it was very dry

### TheyYoungPlantNerd kommenterte den 2025-02-28

That's odd. Did you make sure it was dry underneath the soil?

#### Joana svarte den 2025-02-28

Look at this
